Many of our spring books have arrived, and we are celebrating them with a sale! 

Paperbacks are 33% off, hardcovers 20% off. FREE SHIPPING domestically. This includes books by Rodney Koeneke, Dorothea Lasky, Geoffrey G. O'Brien, and Sandra Simonds. From now until April 3rd. Check them all out here. 

And please be on the lookout for one other book coming in May, Joshua Beckman's slender, two-volume set of lectures, The Lives of the Poems and 3 Talks. These bound volumes will inaugurate a new series, the Bagley Wright Lecture Series, and when they arrive, we'll probably celebrate them with a sale, as well.

If you are interested in many of these books, you might consider a paperback subscription, which is by far the best deal.
