Ground Truth: Writing Towards Justice, forthcoming October of 2026. Coeditors Claire Millikin, Mihku Paul, Karin Spitfire, and Maya Williams, spent eighteen months gathering and editing writings from Maine writers and activists addressing the contemporary situation in our nation and state. Our book represents the work of some forty writers, including Gibson Fay-LeBlanc, Arisa White, Eklas Ahmed, Rylan Hynes, and Donna Loring. Former Maine Poet Laureate Juilia Bowsma writes of Ground Truth, "This is a collection resplendent with hope—not the hope of grand gesture or sweeping promise, but a daily, gritty, messy, determined hope. This is the hope that shows up and keeps showing up, which is to say: this is the hope we need." Please join us in these words of community and hope by pre-purchasing a copy of Ground Truth. Proceeds will be donated to the Maine Immigrants Rights Coalition; the Maine Solidarity Fund; and Niweskok: Seeds to Stars. 

Ground Truth:Writing Towards Justice will be out early October

$20 plus $5 shipping or make arrangements to pick up at one of our many readings.
