I am so excited… poetry (chapbooks and short-form writing) is coming, soon, as its own thing, to the Devil’s Party Press family.
Watch this space for more information. And look for clues about it here.

POETRY AND THE GRAMMY AWARDS
Poetry is more and more getting its due. Why is that? Could it be because poetry soothes the soul, and so many souls need soothing? Could it be because poetry is easy to read quickly, on your phone? What other thoughts do you have?
Dianne here, and I earned my MFA in poetry writing, and I am a fan of the stuff. We try, at DPP, to incorporate poetry into our anthologies, and certainly I love putting it in Instant Noodles. And I wish I could do more.
WATCH THIS SPACE.
We’re doing our best to hatch something poetic at DPP. So, stay tuned!

JOHN JOHNSON: In the Mind of the Anxious Traveler
Our great friend, and(one of our) favorite poet, John Johnson (you’ve seen his work in Instant Noodles and Solstice: A Winter Anthology), has a book out! The book has an instantly evocative cover, and the poetry inside is moving and takes the reader on a journey.
AND HEY! After you buy the book, leave John a review on Amazon. Here is your review, all figured out for you:
This is a moving book of poetry that I am glad I bought/gave as a gift/read.
Plus give it 5 stars.
That is ALL it takes to make a writer’s life significantly better! DO it! 🙂
Who is buying poetry? Only the best people! You be one of them!!!
We really want DPP to be all about our authors, and John is one of our family. We didn’t publish his book (we don’t yet do poetry, or we would have!), but we highly recommend it. And look how beautiful it is! I can just see you seeing a friend off on a trip, and handing him or her this book to read.
Or, better yet, take yourself on a trip! And take this book to read! You deserve a “writing retreat weekend!”
Happy Holidays and Congratulations John!
