Mud Luscious Press wants to welcome our new baby girl, born one month ago, & the reason we have been slower to the punch. but we sent you subscribers two chapbooks in January to make up the difference and will do the same in March, when titles by Riley Michael Parker & Howie Good will hit your mailboxes. also, both David Peak’s and Rauan Klassnik’s chapbook titles are now sold out as individual volumes & so are only available via one of our 2010 subscription options. in any case: welcome baby girl, & from here we hope to pick back up the heat.
