We are so pleased to announce that we will be publishing the chapbook Clap Your Hands, Stomp Your Feet by Carla M. Cherry. We discovered her work through our poetry journal Cacti Fur. We hope to have this exciting chapbook available for purchase by March, 2023. In the meantime, here’s some info on the poet:
