Love how the thumbnail works with the title here. @josephedwinhaeger.bsky.social returns once again to Afterimages. Another indie book review, this time, with THE MORGUE KEEPER BY Ruyan Meng. 🦟

A wonderful new year awaits. 📚

TW has arrived in 2026

This time in 2016:

The first & only print-run of the first chapbook ended.
No printer
No ISBNs
No imprints
No masthead
No recognition
No money

Just a fucking dream ☕️

Annual “off-kilter stats” have dropped.

-12 road events in 3 different U.S. States
-Nearly 600 chapbook subs!
-All 2025 authors were globally northern.
-All 2025 books = about 82% of Moby Dick.

Let’s get some wild stats for 2026, alright?

FACE-TO-FACES is a gift that arrived right before Christmas. Thirty West congratulates & celebrates @keslentz.bsky.social for going the distance, taking risks, & leaving it all out on the page. This book of experimental poetry is just what we need to kickstart a great ‘26. Preorders fulfilling soon

It's a Christmas miracle!

Not only is Afterimages open for submissions again, but we're also pleased to say it is a paying market. See the graphics for all the info, or visit our Submissions page.

You're not seeing double in 2026, just quality, literary Afterimages.

TW wouldn't be where it is without Big Blue Marble bookstore in the cozy Mt. Airy streets of Philly. We've met, hosted, and purchased books from dozens of travelling and local poets and authors. Thirty West Presents has been syndicated for years in their (now remodeled) loft. Go visit!

Inkwood Books is a unique South Jersey bookstore because it indulges in community and small presses quite well. This year, Abigail Michelini was given an awesome event for BRACE, her debut chapbook, right in their building. We can't thank them enough and can't wait for the next event!
