We’ve got a NEW BOOK coming out! Go Help Yourself by Daniel Pope 🐦‍⬛ forthcoming this May!

Sharply funny and surprisingly tender, Daniel Pope’s debut asks the question: What if we’re not broken in all the ways the prophets of American self-help say we are? This book is for all the people self-improvement leaves behind.

Pope, winner of The 2024 UNO Publishing Laboratory Prize, is a writer and musician from Seattle. His work has appeared in Narrative Magazine, Bellevue Literary Review, Gulf Coast Journal, and elsewhere. He currently lives in the UK, where he is a doctoral candidate at the University of Manchester’s Centre for New Writing.

Hi Guys! 👋

We were so excited by this recent Poetry Foundation ( @poetryfoundation )profile from James McWilliams (@frankstanfordlifeandpoetry) of the late, great New Orleans poet Everette Maddox, who died in 1989 and whose work we published twenty years later. ⏱️

From the piece:

“Were it not for the labor-of-love publication of two posthumous selected works […] there would be minimal access to what C.D. Wright has called ‘the starved grandeur’ of Maddox’s discursive, humorous, and emotionally piercing poems.”

The article includes great quotes from Ralph Adamo, who edited the UNO Press’s I HOPE IT’S NOT OVER, AND GOOD-BY, and original publisher Bill Lavender. ✍️

Pick up your copy at Blue Cypress ( @blue_cypress_books ), located on Maddox’s old Oak Street stomping ground, or one of our other bookstore affiliates today and get in on this Maddoxian renaissance ! ✨📍

Huge congratulations to our 2025 UNO Lab Prize winner, Kristina Jipson! 🏆✨

IDK captivated us with its strong voice and unflinching emotional honesty. Jenna Clarke, a young woman recently released from prison, finds herself navigating an unexpected pregnancy. In the form of Jenna’s stream-of-consciousness address to her unborn child, IDK excavates the relationship between Jenna’s past, including her role in her boyfriend’s suicide, and the mother she is capable of becoming. Be on the look out for the release! 📖

Kristina Jipson’s Halve (Tupelo Press) was selected by Dan Beachy-Quick for a Berkshire Prize. She has published two chapbooks, How Void of Miracles (Hand Held Editions) and Lock, Means (Dancing Girl Press) and her fiction and poetry have appeared in Tin House, CRAFT, Chicago Review, American Letters & Commentary, DIAGRAM, Colorado Review and elsewhere.

We hope everyone had a great Mardi Gras season here in New Orleans! 🎊

This week, in conversation about Brenda Quant’s From the Back of a Bus Named Desire, UNO Press Editor Chelsey Shannon will be a guest on The Reading Life, hosted by Susan Larson on WWNO (@wwno_fm), airing live Friday and Sunday.

This broadcast is available via radio at 89.9 FM or online at WWNO.ORG 📡

In a small village in Soviet Armenia, a baby girl is found abandoned in the woods, with one hand forced out of her swaddle. All her life, Ruzan Garsevanian will wonder what she was reaching for the night the fearcatcher’s husband found her and took her home to his mysterious wife.

Lush and mythic yet profoundly intimate, Naira Kuzmich’s posthumous debut novel, Fearcatcher, is a journey through perpetual questions of fear and of fate.

Fearcatcher is featured in Literary Lights 2026! 📚 ✨ Keep an eye on our website and socials for the announcement.
