Our next full-length collection of poems, Megan Leonard’s book of lullabies, is available now for pre-order. Orders should ship in early January 2021…if the post office ever recovers from 2020.
Megan Leonard’s debut is an incantation of motherhood. As the Snow Queen navigates her way through childbirth, fears for her children, and the insomnia of new mothers everywhere, Leonard integrates the mood of the coastal north Atlantic, where she resides, with surety and stark, icy beauty.
Our next chapbook, Hexenhaus, is now available. Sarah Nichols mines horror films, witchcraft, the mother/daughter relationship, and the death of the mother in this captivating book.
Yamini Pathak’s debut chapbook explores memories of a childhood in India and adulthood in the US, raising American children. She reminisces, weaves in myth and narrative, and blends theses elements into a lovely, lyrical whole.
Submissions are now closed. Thanks to all who submitted–we hope to get back to you very soon.
Milk & Cake Press is now accepting submissions for our first anthology, Dead of Winter, to be published in Winter 2021. We are looking for poems that deal with the supernatural, the mythological, the mysterious, the uncanny.
