Hi friends,
A lot is happening at once this week, so let’s get right to it. In our first year, every week it feels like a lot of momentum is happening. Nearly 1 year into this, we have 4 poets, 1 successful prize launched and planning year 2.
Jan Noble, live tomorrow 8am PT / 1pm ET
Tomorrow we’re going live with Jan Noble, who will be reading exclusively from My Name Is Swan. This is your chance to hear an excerpt in his own voice, and believe me that in itself is an event. Come with questions if you have them.
Swan is shipping
Pre-orders for My Name Is Swan are open now, and we’ve begun shipping ahead of the October 1st release date. The website includes all three performances from the book, so if you want a sense of what you’re holding before it arrives, it’s there.

A bundle, while it lasts
If you want both of our current titles together, Sesquipedalian Rain Chant and My Name Is Swan, we’ve put together a bundle at an exclusive price. There are only 10 bundles left, and once they’re gone we won’t be restocking this particular offer.

Open Reading is open
We’re looking for three new poets to publish next year. Our open reading period is genuinely open. We want work from voices we haven’t heard from yet, and manuscripts that couldn’t be shuffled into any other shape. If that’s you, we’d like to see it.
Submit your work: https://inkandribbon.org/submissions
Thank you, as always, for reading closely and sticking with us.
