A Special Surprise from Jane's Boy Press

Sometimes good things are far too good to wait for.  As a special teaser for the full-length debut collection from Christie Grimes, due next spring, Jane's Boy Press proudly presents Christie's first chapbook--Last to Leave.  A Texas native now living in Northern New York, Christie's chapbook details the cultural adjustment of building a new home far from your old one, the nostalgia for the back roads and summer sun of our youth, and the new lives we build as we grow older.  Featuring a sampling of poems that will appear in her full-length collection as well as many poems exclusive to this volume, Last to Leave is a perfect introduction to a striking new voice in poetry, one that we are proud to have as part of the Jane's Boy family.  Last to Leave is a special unannounced release to our fall schedule and is currently available via Amazon and all major retailers.

Jane's Boy Press is proud to present the revised 2015 edition of Charlie Bondhus's debut full-length collection, How the Boy Might See It.  Originally published by Pecan Grove Press in 2009, the initial print run has been sold out for some time, leaving the book out of print.  Jane's Boy has partnered with Charlie to present an updated edition of the book, featuring all-new revisions, new poems, a brand new cover by Kevin Hinkle, and a special introduction by the poet.  Charlie went on to release All the Heat We Could Carry via Main Street Rag Publishing Company, which selected the book for their 2013 book award.  All the Heat We Could Carry went on to win the Thom Gunn Award.  Readers familiar with Charlie from his award winning second book or his work as poetry editor at The Good Men Project can now see where it all began with this revised edition of his debut collection--a finalist for the Blue Light Press First Book Award in its original edition--out this week via Amazon and other major retailers.

0 Comments

 
October marks the debut of our journal, Ishka Bibble.  As part of this special occasion, we will feature a supplement entitled "The Ishka Bibble Book of Desire."  We are currently accepting submissions for this section.  Poems should reflect the theme of "Desire," but that theme can be interpreted however the poet sees fit. 

For this special section, there is NO READING FEE.  Poems may be of any length. 

We will consider the first 300 poems that are submitted, and we will publish all the poems we like.  Poets who are featured in the supplemental section will receive a contributor's copy of the issue. 

Read the full submission details at this link.  The submission window will remain open until August 15th or until the cap of 300 submissions is reached, whichever comes first.  The window will close early if the cap is reached, so don't wait until the last minute to submit your poem for consideration.

Jane's Boy Press is still reading for the debut issue of Ishka Bibble, our journal of poetry.  We're looking for a wide range of voices and styles, though our preference is for poetry that is accessible (this does not mean dumbed-down, simply that it does not alienate the reader).  Readings go year round, but the reading period for the debut issue will close in August.  After that, all submissions will be considered for the second issue.

To submit your work or find out more information, please visit our submissions page.

No Witness Now Available

Jane's Boy Press proudly announces the release of No Witness: New and Selected Poems, the debut poetry collection from Ann Clark.  No Witness is a stunning achievement in its approach to observing the other side of America--the one not on the six o'clock news or prime time TV.  These poems reflect small town life in all its sordid and occasionally seedy details--from the teenagers parking for make out sessions on the back roads to the housewives hiding their mail order addictions from their families.  Ann has in incredible talent for giving voice to those who can't be reduced to soundbites or easily summarized by the simple sentences of a casual introduction.  These portraits are pictures of the interior landscape, from the minor insecurities to the small moments that we break inside of.  No Witness is available now through our online store at this link, and will be coming soon to all major online and physical retailers.
