This @unsung-masters.bsky.social book on Tom Postell, edited by Michael Peterson and Anthony Sutton, is SO GOOD!

Co-directing this series with @kevinprufer.bsky.social and Wayne Miller continues to be one of the great joys of my literary life.

Thank you @poetrydaily.bsky.social for featuring.

Because we partner on distribution with literary magazines (Gulf Coast, Pleiades, and Copper Nickel, primarily), we are able to get each volume into the hands of thousands of readers, far surpassing the readership typically associated with this kind of literary archaeology.
