It's been a busy few weeks since AWP, but we wanted to share some of the books we brought back to add to De-Canon's growing archive, as well as books we recently received as donations. Special thanks to Aqueduct Press, Chax Press, Civic Coach House Books, Coping Mechanisms, Cutbank Books, futurepoem press, and 1913 Press for recommending their authors, and to Rio Grande Journal for donating a copy of their omnibus 50th anniversary issue. We're also grateful for the generosity of one particular poet who heard about the project and donated a box full of POC-authored books for the archive. (If you wish to donate books also, you're certainly welcome, but please check our Inventory page to confirm that you're sending us POC-authored books that we don't already have).
