Horse Less Press

We have six amazing books forthcoming in 2014 from Tim Earley, Pattie McCarthy, Emily Carr, John Duvernoy, Russ Woods, and Kirsten Jorgenson; take a look & get a pre-order discount while you’re at it.

We’re hard at work on HLR #16, which will go live in late September/early October. In the meantime, submit your poetry or hybrid-genre work for Horse Less Review #17! Megan Burns will be guest editing #17; please send 5-12 pages of work (as an attachment) to her at horselessguesteditor@gmail.com. Deadline for submissions is Oct 5.

Long Weekend Chapbook Sale! From now through Wednesday, September 4, Buy any THREE chapbooks for $18. Tell us in the notes section which books you want.

Coming next week, two new mini-chapbooks: Encino by Chad Scheel (which uses Raymond Chandler’s The Long Goodbye as a source text) and The Dark Mouth of Living by Jenn McCreary (which does things in thirty-line increments that you never knew thirty-line increments could do). You can order both books now for $10.

New video to accompany Jenn Marie Nunes’s PRONOUNCED LOCALLY:

Our new chapbooks are here! Dollbaby by Megan Burns and Diesel Generator by Bernd Sauermann. More details and ordering info is available in our catalog. The first ten people to order BOTH chapbooks get a special edition of Dollbaby with extra dollbaby.

Coming up next month is the conclusion of our “Excitation of Influence” series: chapbooks by Jennifer Denrow and Eleni Sikelianos.

We are so happy to announce one more addition to our 2014 full-length book title list; in addition to the manuscripts we selected during our 2013 Open Reading Period, we will be publishing Emily Carr’s fabulous Up the Shinbones in 2014. We fell in love with this book when we published a section of it in chapbook form this year, and we are so glad we get to work on the full book project. Read a little more about Emily’s recent publications on her website.

Welcome to Horse Less Review #15! Featuring work by Cynthia Arrieu-King, Siel Ju, Anthony Opal, Aaron Angello, Pattie McCarthy, Nikki Wallschlaeger, Cecily Iddings, Tim Earley, Jenn Marie Nunes, BJ Soloy, and Alec Hershman.

We are so happy to announce that we have chosen FIVE full-length manuscripts from our spring Open Reading period to publish in 2014. Please help us look forward to

Something in the way // Obstruction Blues by John Duvernoy
Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery by Tim Earley
Sediment & Veil by Kirsten Jorgenson
nulls by Pattie McCarthy
Sarah, Or, The Existence of Fire by Russ Woods

Watch for more details about each book, each author, and our exact 2014 schedule. Watch out, too, for a late summer/early fall issue of Horse Less Review, which will feature works by some of our favorite manuscript submissions. Huge thanks to everyone who sent their work.

Some poems from Kristin Abraham’s forthcoming Horse Less book, The Disappearing Cowboy Trick, appear in issue 17 of Big Bridge. Haven’t pre-ordered your copy of The Disappearing Cowboy Trick yet? You’ve still got a week to place an order via our Kickstarter project. That means there’s also only a week left to get half or whole subscriptions to our 2013 chapbook series! It’s a big discount and a good deal.

Live out of the US and want to pre-order books or chapboks through our Kickstarter campaign? We can do that. Our general rule is add $5 shipping for a 1-2 book order and $10 for any of the larger subscriptions. You can also always contact me (Jen) via our Kickstarter site and ask about shipping to your specific address.
