Penumbra Press chapbooks

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 chapbooks we have worked on: ON BIRDS / WINGS / ROADS / SILENCE by Dottie Lo Bue, patchwork hearts by Natt Bartell, and Swimming to Syria by Sandy Feinstein.
