About

The Bodily Press is an independent publishing house for poetry, and a record label for improvised music. Founded in 2017 by Eliot Cardinaux, The Bodily Press first began publishing a wider array of poets in 2024. New work released or forthcoming this year includes:

  • the unwaveringly direct spoken word protest poetry of paul catafago’s full-length collection The Palestinian Freedom Now Suite
  • the minimalist crystalline gems of John Phillips’ chapbook Concrete
  • the haunting gnostic lyrics “written in a ghost language” of Patrick Pritchett’s full-length collection Brief Mercy of This Life
  • the long-lined American psychic landscapes of Deja Rene Carr (AKA Mal Devisa)’s mid-length collection Elbow Sugar;
  • a series of paintings and commentaries by “painter-among-poets” Tasha Robbins released, at long last, as An Angel Alphabet, a full-color book to be held by the human hand, visually depicting the Hebrew Alphabet Malachim in Cornelius Agrippa’s Angelic Script;
  • the bluesy tercets of Aldon Lynn Nielsen’s chapbook Supertrios (Disc 1);
  • The coy keening of Sarah Menefee’s streetwise short lyrics in her chapbook Winter Rose;
  • the jagged clarity of image present in Khashayar “Kess” Mohammadi’s chapbook A smudge. Attenuated.;
  • and the poetic reimagining of public life lyrically outlined in Andrew Mossin’s A Common World.
