WHEN WILL THE SECOND EDITION OF OUR BODIES & OTHER FINE MACHINES BE BACK IN STOCK? HOW CAN I GET A COPY?

I do not have these answers re: availability of Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines as I do not manage stocking, supply, distribution, or circulation. If you’d like a copy and it’s out of stock, please send an inquiry to my publisher, San Press, at tehpeoplestudio@gmail.com. Please consider checking out Beast At Every Threshold if supply is an ongoing issue.

will you ship beast at every threshold to my country? HOW CAN I GET A COPY?

I do not have these answers re: distribution of Beast At Every Threshold as I do not manage stocking, supply, distribution, or circulation. If you’d like a copy and it’s not available in your country, the best thing to do is actually to request it through your local bookseller or library. That way, a bookshop or library knows there’s interest in the book and is more likely to bring it to your region as they know they can sell that copy.

What is the difference between the first and second edition of OUR BODIES & OTHER FINE MACHINES?

The second edition features never-before-published poems as well as older poems that have been reworked with a newer, updated voice. It is also the collaboration between multiple interdisciplinary artists and serves more to be an art object and aesthetic experience than the first edition.

HOW CAN I GET MY HANDS ON THE FIRST EDITION OF OUR BODIES & OTHER FINE MACHINES?

Unfortunately, the first edition of this book is out of print. I have no physical or electronic copies of it, and will not be printed again as the publisher has shut down. I promise the second edition is better.

Why is OUR BODIES & OTHER FINE MACHINES being sold for ridiculous prices on amazon?

I have been told my book is being sold anywhere from seven hundred to two thousand dollars on Amazon, and I am as confused as you are! I would advise against attempting to purchase these.

can i make fanwork using your poetry?

I really appreciate and am honoured by interest in my work! Generally, I’d say go ahead, but please be mindful of not misusing poetry about specific experiences of hate crime, gendered violence, homophobia, immigration, etc., especially if those are not your lived experiences. If you make something cool, please feel free to share. (I’m more likely to see it on Instagram than anywhere else.)

how can i support you in other ways?

I have a Ko-Fi and appreciate donations! Please also consider this list of action items including donating and supporting communities, educating ourselves, petitions and contacting councillors.
