Wave Books at AWP 2019 in Portland
We are very excited to be heading to Portland for AWP, in just a few weeks! We are hosting two offsite events and will be at the AWP Bookfair for its duration. A ton of our authors will be in town reading with us and at many other fine venues. We'll have more details to share as we get closer, but for now, just a few:
Bookfair:
The bookfair is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, from 9AM–5PM. AWP has reinstated their $5 Saturday-only bookfair pass; for those not attending the full conference, it's a nearly free way to go to the best bookstore in the world that exists that weekend. Come see us at tables T8027 and T8029.
Thursday, March 28:
Join us at the Pacific Northwest College of Art for a Burning Deck Books Exhibit and a tribute to Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop. We'll be showing off Burning Deck publications from the past 60 years, including rare letterpress editions and magazines, and we'll host a casual reading celebration, with many collaborators, friends, and former students of the Waldrops reading from favorite Burning Deck or Waldrop books.
The exhibit open from 6 to 9pm, readings begin at 6:30 and 8:00 by the following participants:
6:30
Heidi Broadhead - Alejandro de Acosta - Kristin P. Bradshaw - Rae Armantrout - Lynn Xu - E. Tracy Grinnell - Jena Osman - Lee Ann Brown - Joshua Beckman

Announcing: Our 2019 Titles!
Poets, readers,
We’ve been unpacking the first cartons of the first books of the year, and we couldn’t be more excited about 2019 and the incredible poetry, lectures, conversations, and less-easily-categorizable works we will publishing. Here is what we have in store:
Heartily,
Wave Books
Terrance Hayes named an NBCC Finalist in both Poetry and Criticism
The National Book Critics Circle announced the 2018 finalists this morning, and Terrance Hayes is on the list TWICE! He is a finalist in poetry for his incredible collection with Penguin, American Sonnets for my Past and Future Assassin, and in criticism for To Float in the Space Between, his extraordinary, hybrid work (drawn from his lectures in the Bagley Wright Lecture Series) on the poet Etheridge Knight, which we published last fall.
Literally two cheers to Terrance Hayes!
ALL TITLES 30% OFF; a Holiday Sale
Poets, readers, friends,
It's been a good year, and it seems like only yesterday that we were awaiting the first of our Bagley Wright Lecture Series books; or listening to poems on a boat gliding the canals of Tampa; or paging through incredible drawings of Etheridge Knight; or delighting in Philip Lamantia's letters of conscientious objection to war; or taking a ferry across the sound to a wonderland of typewriters; or talking a mile a minute at bookfairs in Seattle, Brooklyn, and Portland; or carefully balancing a little papercraft amid the cacti.
That last one literally was yesterday. And everything that card says is true: we are having a HOLIDAY SALE. To celebrate the year. ALL TITLES are 30% OFF, with FREE SHIPPING in the US.
Head over to our holiday collection (hint: it's all the books) and the discount should be applied automatically. Or simply plug in "ANDOTHERPOEMS" when you check out.
The sale will run until the end of the year.
New books by Philip Lamantia, Edwin Torres, and Anselm Berrigan ON SALE
Our October books have just arrived! Now in Seattle—and moving around the rest of the world—is Philip Lamantia's selected prose, Preserving Fire, and two new collections of poetry: XoeteoX, by Edwin Torres, and Something for Everybody, by Anselm Berrigan.
