PRE-ORDER: The First Day
The First Day, by Beth Gordon
**PRE-ORDER** Forthcoming Publication Date: October 22, 2024
*Pre-orders receive a bonus poem postcard*
Vivid and intimate, The First Day is both a confession and an excavation. Beth Gordon’s hybrid chapbook pieces together one-way conversations that enter a complex world of relationships spanning several decades yet remaining tethered to revelations in ordinary places. Part prose poem, part experimental memoir, Gordon taps into a universal sense of vulnerability in love and grief, ever struck by the truth that no matter what happens, “the present day keeps moving. Who can keep up?”
Beth Gordon is a poet, mother, and grandmother currently living in Asheville, NC. She is the author of several chapbooks including The Water Cycle (Variant Literature), How to Keep Things Alive (Split Rock Press), and Crone (Louisiana Literature). Beth is Managing Editor of Feral: A Journal of Poetry and Art, Assistant Editor of Animal Heart Press, and Grandma of Femme Salve Books. Twitter, Instagram, and BlueSky @bethgordonpoet.
