Welcome back BLUE BUCOLIC!
it’s not often we revise an existing title. Rebecca Kokitus’ 2nd chapbook has a revised cover, sharper images, and revised poems in this classic Thirty West chapbook from 2019. Sadly, no Schuylkill County coal rubbed pages, but this poetry is amazing.

Thirty West chapbook submissions are free. However, some people choose to tip us a few bucks, or even purchase a title. This photo is all of the purchases logged to date. With budgets tight and pennies (RIP) pinched, we can’t thank you enough for supporting a scrappy indie press of 10 years. 📚
