UPDATE, 9.29.2025
Friends, thank you so much for your response to my new collection, Mortal Sugar.
The first printing of the signed and numbered limited edition (50 copies) sold out on publication day. Monday Editions issued a second printing, also signed and numbered, which began with copy number 51 and has also sold out. There are 16 copies left of the third and final printing (again signed and numbered).
You can order a copy of the third printing here. The price includes shipping within the continental US.
I’m happy to say it’s publication day for my new collection, Mortal Sugar: Poems in the Key of Lotería.
This is a pocket-size limited edition, signed and numbered, with fifty-five full-color images of the lotería folk icons—The Devil, The Dandy, The Drunk, the whole crew. You can read about the book here, and buy it here (there are eight seven six five four three two 0 copies left).1
Heartfelt thanks to the members of the Copyright Club—fellow and sister Substackers , , , , , , Pfister, , , , , , and , and the other lovely subscribers and supporters whose names inspire my lasting gratitude.
Given enough interest, Monday Editions will issue second and subsequent printings of the full-color first edition, in multiples of ten; those copies, also signed, will be numbered 51–60, 61–70, and so on. Meanwhile, Monday Editions is preparing a second, open edition (unsigned and unnumbered) for release in September. Like the first edition, it will have 132 pages, but its size will be 5.5 x 8.5 inches, and it will have black-and-white images. Copies of the second edition will be available from Bookshop and Amazon.
There’s a Copyright Club?! The book looks great.
Hi X.P., I have received my volume last night, and having spent some time with it, want to say what a wonderful accomplishment this is! First, it is beautiful in the hand, perfectly sized and designed. The paper quality, the beauty of the illustrations and of course the poems themselves within their engaging and thoughtful framework is genuinely a marvel. Thank you very much for this! I believe you would find a home for this wonderful volume in the book store at the Morgan Library in Manhattan.
