Book cover for God-Damned Eden by James Daniels (Bull City Press): Selma is a community that, despite its pain, holds a depth of spirit that deserves love and care, a place where redemption is sought through the resilience of its people. God-Damned Eden speaks to the tension within a place that is both deeply flawed and deeply loved. Like the fallen earth in scripture, Selma is marked by human shortcomings and struggles, yet it remains beloved, resilient, and layered with beauty. This Eden-like quality isn’t pristine; it’s a paradise that bears scars—a place both blessed and “damned” by the realities of history and hardship. Yet, within those imperfections lies the work of restoration, an ongoing call to see and honor the beauty that persists. https://bullcitypress.com/product/god-damned-eden-by-james-daniels-inch-65/
Book cover for BOOTless by Trace DePass (Diode Editions): BOOTless: an archaic word also meaning ineffectual, is a black poet’s psychedelic meditation on gentrification, climate change, & post-pandemic grief, pointing its arrow back at its country that has stacked colonization on genocide & monopolized colonization & genocide. The book laughs at an oppressor’s self-elected right to canonize its theft & winning rhetoric under the guise of calling it history. This book may indict Whiteness, if not English itself, as using language built on oppression (a Deleuzian desire-machine sewn together by other languages) in order to create indefinite law on stolen land with indefinite marginalization for the people on it. https://www.diodeeditions.com/product-page/bootless
Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books: BOOTless (by @tracedepass.bsky.social, @diodeeditions.bsky.social) & God-Damned Eden (by James Daniels, @bullcitypress.com). See alt-text.

The top of a carrot peaking through soil.
"I have left my body many times. Once I misplaced myself
inside my mother’s voice. She was peeling a carrot with
a small knife, the blade so thin it sang against the curling
skin."
