I have 2 main goals with Stanchion Books: to get books into as many hands as possible & to put as much cash into writers' pockets as I can. You have power to make both possible, we all do. Our purchasing power is immense. It's why corporate America crushes us with ads. Shop small

NEW POEM #126: 'Life Sentence' by Christina Hauck

'In unison, half step back, shake of head—
sister, brother—eyes wide as I proffer
gilt box, pound of grey

ash and bone, all that remains'

NEW POEM #125: 'Someday Whisper' by Mitchell Nobis (Mitchell Nobis)

'My prayers slide through soil, fill on minerals & microbes, / alive. Some turn mulch but some of my prayers / huddle into masses, turn their // tomb into a chrysalis'

“For many years the conviction has grown upon me that civilization arises and unfolds in and as play.”
― Johan Huizinga, Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture

'You are always here, moving, sloshing, but arriving nowhere. And though you can’t really see, the sky is shaping the storm. You know it. It’s coming.'
