This is the first issue of our poetry magazine, Reason Tatters. It contains poems by Karl Koweski, David Barker, Fred Voss, John Dorsey, and more. Each copy is saddle stitched and contains unique, hand-marbled endpaper glued to the back of the cardstock cover, and comes with a broadside poem by Hosho McCreesh attached. (This book will ship starting 9-21-26)
We love some of the classics here at DPB, and this very limited edition of Jack London’s “To Build a Fire” has been a favorite of ours since we were in high school, just getting ourselves into reading and all its greatness. These copies have an original “ice-watercolor” painted cover, along with patterned paper from Berlin on the inside cover, and a stitched binding. Get it while it’s hot!
Hosho McCreesh is currently writing, painting, and making stuff in the gypsum and caliche badlands of the American Southwest — and has been for the last quarter-century or so. His work is available in print, audio, and online. His book Psalms From The Badlands was a 2025 New Mexico Book Awards Finalist in Poetry.
This handsewn booklet contains three new poems by Hosho McCreesh. The cover features art by Hanna Tarasienko. This first edition is limited to 40 copies and has a variety of covers. (We loved Tarasienko’s art so much, we couldn’t just make one!)
We are readers, first and foremost. Our mission is to provide writers an opportunity to get their work into the hands of readers like us, and readers like you. Small presses are important as an outlet for those who would otherwise have none, artists who may not be commercially commodifiable, and we consider it a privilege to join the ranks of so many independent publishers who do beautiful, necessary, sometimes overlooked work.
Are you a writer? Artist? Billionaire philanthropist? We are always open for submissions. One poem, a dozen, we will read any amount. Fiction and essays are great, but try to keep it under 3000 words or so, for now. We also love visual art, preferably in black and white. We may be able to use it on covers or between poems. We want our inbox full, email us your work.
