Thanks to @printandresist for providing another magical tabling time last Saturday at Madison Central Library. A sun-filled energy to balance our current moment(s).

See you @printandresist at the Madison Public Library this Saturday, April 25 from 11-4 PM. Oxeye is excited to vend alongside over 100 artists, printmakers, zinesters and other DIY publishers. Always an amazing event…Thank you organizers!!!

We are happy to be partnering with @asterism_books !!! ✨💫🌟 It’s amazing to find distribution support as a limited-edition small press. Thanks to everyone at Asterism who helped make this possible.

Ryan Skrabalak‘s @auntywarhol chapbook, Assembled Climate, is available now! Of an edition of 150, 50 are available through our website. More info below. Yay! XOXO Assembled Climate Ryan Skrabalak POETRY A long poem celebrating and exploring the encounter born from an elision of Robert Bly’s collection, The Morning Glory. DETAILS January 2026 Edition of 150 36 pp. 10 x 8 in. Hand-bound chapbook with letterpress printed covers. Stab binding. Laid-style papers with blue-raspberry end sheets. One’s sense of security has no place in poetry, where possibilities of what could’ve been public have been wasted to extinction, and with them almost every chance for serendipity. It is not sweetness. Skrabalak’s elision is grace. It appears and is enviable. It is the nature of specificity. “Stone/ Tennessee, the sun a lonesome lean man / sideways, exiled,” shaved to a post-nut clarity, mid-nut responsibility, pre-nut butter. “He comes in my hand / a yellowish triumph”. —Zan de Parry

Binding is going smoothly for Ryan Skrabalak’s Assembled Climate. Should be up for sale in the next 5-10 days. These will go quick! DM to reserve a copy. More info is up on our website. Thanks to @auntywarhol for trusting Oxeye with this work!!! XOXO
