Publishing women since 1989.

Making the experimental possible and probable, the Tender Buttons catalog proves small works can have big impact: four Guggenheims, six landmark texts, and one National Book Critics Circle finalist — all when women are given paper of their own.

@atsignemdash go to your bookshelf and open the first 14 books on your shelf to a predetermined page number (14?) - use words in the top line of the page to improvise one line of a sonnet until you get 14 lines. Tinker with it until it works for you - you can try rearranging the lines too.

Here’s my students’ music anthology so far. They had to find poetic elements in a contemporary song. So I’m compiling the songs they chose. This is a great assignment because you also get a new music playlist ✨
