Thank you to all who submitted to our Fall 2021 virtual journal edition,"Love for Others." Seeing all of your lovely pieces was certainly a highlight of the season!

We warmly welcome contributors to also attend our journal launch, which will be hosted online via Zoom on December 4th, 2-3:00 pm PST. The link for the event can be found by clicking here.

The launch will announce our Series Editors' Pick, feature piece readings, preview our first Penumbra Press chapbooks, and involve a Q&A session with contributors and staff. We can't wait to see you and celebrate your work!

Penumbra Press chapbook Trailers

Penumbra Press has been hard at work polishing three chapbooks from the authors we selected in the summer. At last, we are excited to share the three trailers to those chapbooks: ON BIRDS / WINGS / ROADS / SILENCE by Dottie Lo Bue, patchwork hearts by Natt Bartell, and Swimming to Syria by Sandy Feinstein. More information on Penumbra Press chapbooks can be found here. Click down below to check out the trailers, and look forward to the chapbooks release coming soon!

Penumbra Press has also conducted interviews with all three of our chapbook authors! These interviews focus on the poets' work, their inspiration, the chapbook process, and much more.
