the above/ground press postal increase sale,

on

above/ground press (b. 1993) doesn’t usually offer any sales during this time of the year, but with the thirty percent increase recently via Canada Post, and a couple of substantial printing increases over the past three years, it puts the press at even more of a loss, so I thought it would be worth offering a series of discounted bundles from the wealth of the above/ground press backlist/frontlist to help with cashflow:

ANY FOUR TITLES FOR $20 (postage included)
ANY TEN TITLES FOR $40 + shipping / Canada add $25 / US add $30 / International add $32
ANY TWENTY-FOUR TITLES FOR $80 + shipping / Canada add $30 / US add $33 / International add $35
ANY FORTY-FIVE TITLES FOR $160 (postage included)
                    / all prices in Canadian dollars ; “any” is subject to availability,

normally single author chapbooks (mostly poetry but some prose) titles are $5 each (with issues of G U E ST [a journal of guest editors] $6 each and issues of Touch the Donkey [a small poetry journal] $8 each and copies of the Report from the Society festschrift series anywhere from $6 to $8). 2025 subscriptions, also, are still available as well [$75 Canadian in Canada/$75 US in United States; further info here], in case that appeals instead (I might have to actually increase my subscription rates for next year, but it is too late for 2025). I’ll keep this sale going until July 9, 2025 [which will be above/ground press’ thirty-second birthday, by the way]. I mean, if it helps get further books out into the hands of interested readers, this is a good thing. and remember, above/ground press is entirely unfunded, but for sales and subscriptions and sheer optimism (and my own pocket). there isn’t funding available for this kind of activity.

Make your own bundles! Many authors even have multiple titles across the press, with the link below to their most recent (and links within to their prior). Want all four titles by Amish Trivedi, for example, or a handful of Amanda Earl chapbooks? Why not both natalie hanna offerings, or two of three chapbooks by Julia Polyck-O’Neill? Other authors with multiple titles in print include Jessica Smith, Pearl Pirie, Gil McElroy, Stephen Collis, Brenda Iijima, Jason Christie, Rae Armantrout, Kyle Flemmer, rob mclennan, Stephanie Gray, Renée Sarojini Saklikar, Hugh Thomas, Jérôme Melançon, Alice Burdick, Melissa Eleftherion, Ben Robinson, MLA Chernoff, Grant Wilkins, Leesa Dean, Nathanael O’Reilly, Sacha Archer, Lori Anderson Moseman, Ken Norris, Emily Izsak, ryan fitzpatrick and a whole stack of others. Maybe you want a stack of Touch the Donkey [a small poetry journal] issues? Maybe you want a whole slew of the prose series, issues of G U E S T [a journal of guest editors] or the Report from the Society festschrift titles? Try me! If I still have copies, it totally works. While supplies last on individual titles, obviously. See the link for further information here.
