Open reading period update

All six chapbooks, arranged in a three-by-three grid on a woven rug. The covers are colorfully printed by hand from hand-carved linocut blocks.

Chapbook guidelines for our Open Reading Period will drop here on Monday: bloofbooks.com/about/submissions.

We’ll be featuring excerpts from the current series—as well as some deeper cuts—on both Twitter and Instagram starting next week too, as a little extra inspiration.
