All, it is official. Tim Earley’s Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery has been printed and put into the mail. I will leave pre-orders open through March 3, but after that you can no long get his book at the discounted price of $13 + free shipping. Pre-ordering also means I’ll send your book out as soon as we receive them! You might even get yours before Tim does! If you haven’t already, pre-order your copy now.
Our first book of Spring 2014 is available before spring is. Read more about and order Nikki Wallschlaeger’s amazing I Would Be The Happiest Bird here.
OR, consider saving some money and multiplying your poetry pleasure by subscribing to our SPRING or FULL YEAR chapbook bundles.
Horse Less will not be at AWP, but some of our 2014 book authors will! Check out magical, wonderful John Duvernoy and Tim Earley reading at an off-site event hosted by Free Verse Editions on Friday, 5-6:30. AT THE SAME TIME, wonderful Pattie McCarthy will be reading for Apogee Press, so maybe learn to bi-locate. If you can’t, though, Pattie will also be reading on Saturday night at 6 with our very best friends Bloof, Coconut, and Alice Blue. We would give non-essential body parts to be at that event.
Before you go spending all your book money, you may want to reserve some upcoming Horse Less books and chapbooks. Pattie McCarthy’s Nulls and Tim Earley’s Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery will soon cease to be available at the discounted pre-order price. Order the pair together for a brilliant $24 and free shipping. OR, pre-order all five of our 2014 full-length books, including books by Russ Woods, John Duvernoy, and Kirsten Jorgenson, for an even more brilliant $55 and free shipping.
You may also want to get a jump on our 2014 chapbook run! See pre-ordering information here.
Spend part of your weekend with Horse Less Review #16, which features work by Tony Mancus, John Duvernoy, Valerie Witte, Russ Woods, Youmna Chlala, Hannah Rodabaugh, Dennis Etzel Jr., Jonathan Dubow, Travis Macdonald, Matt Reeck, Brandi Homan, Maureen Thorson, Cheryl Quimba, Joe Milazzo, and Jill Darling.
We received proofs in the mail today for Tim Earley’s book, and we are so excited! Expect them back from the printers and in the mail during the first week of March, which means you only have about 1.5 weeks to get the pre-order discount and help us (it is so much help!) offset our printing costs a bit.
If you order Tim’s book alone, you save $2 off the cover price plus free shipping. If you pre-order his book along with another from our 2014 catalog, you save $6 and get free shipping! Might we suggest pairing it with Pattie McCarthy’s Nulls, which will also be released this March? They will really tie your spring together.
Pre-order one or two or all of our fabulous 2014 books here!

Pattie McCarthy’s poem a woman peeling apples, with a small child is the poem of the day from The Academy of American Poets.
We’ll be sending her book to the printer this month. Pre-order your copy of Nulls now!
Due to personal schedule conflicts, Emily Carr has asked that horse less press remove her full-length book from our 2014 line-up. If you pre-ordered her book, I have issued a refund. So sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your support! All the rest of our 2014 books are on schedule and looking forward to you. You can still pre-order them here.
Thanks to Allison Cobb for her review of Pattie McCarthy’s Nulls, forthcoming this spring from Horse Less Press. (You can pre-order Nulls, and the rest of our 2014 catalog, here.) Also in this issue of Boog City, love for our friends at Fact-Simile Press and Trembling Pillow Press. Hooray!
Tim Earley’s Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery is headed to the printer shortly, and Pattie McCarthy’s Nulls is in the final proofreading stage.
Right now you can pre-order each book for $13 (free shipping + $2 off cover price) or the pair for $24 (free shipping + $6 off the cover price). We are a small press run in the non-existent spare time on the non-existent expendable budget of a couple adjunct instructors, and we value your pre-orders SO MUCH. In fact, they make our whole enterprise possible. Please pre-order now, get a great discount and some wonderful books, and help us keep doing what we do!
We’re so excited about these beauties!
