Pub day and we’re thrilled to celebrate ELECTRIC DRESS by Joanne Diaz! Richie Hoffman writes, “Joanne Diaz’s poems move with a quiet force as they explore dark forms of knowledge; they are sensuous and learned, erudite and erotically alive. Electric Dress, her exhilarating new book, is magnificently charged with sparks of ingenuity and awe.” Special thanks to the amazing for the cover design featuring art by Atsuko Tanaka. Preorders are headed out and link to order is in our bio.
