Book of Extraction: Poems with teeth
Adrian Dallas Frandle

Cover: The title in gold on a background of black. In place of the T in extraction is a sword impaled in a matching gold molar.

β€œA prayer that will make you tongue your teeth and truly feel the sacred that lay waiting: sometimes in decay, sometimes in union, always in the magic mundane of white walls and ivory teeth.”  - Lauren Theresa, author of  Lost Things

The best way to support a new indie press? Pre-order!

Plus, did we mention, this is two books for the price of one? Talk about a deal!

Split / Game of Little Deaths is out on May 27. It’s a surrealist fever dream. A book unlike any other, we promise.

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.

It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

During the pandemic, I had days when I felt I was by myself on a shore drained of the tide, dragging a stick across miles of wet sand. There were also days when I was a boy again, sliding down a snowy hill on a flattened cardboard box. And there were days when I remembered the teacher who made us memorize a poem each week, and when we asked why, she said we might one day find ourselves in a wreck at the side of the road and we would recite these poems to stay alive.
