the lord and barn by francine j. harris. A cast of coupled animals make up the perverse parable at the center of the lord and barn. Wary in their intimate chatter, the animals know something is amiss. Here, we get to overhear them signal environmental catastrophe to one another as they navigate their volatile habitats.

Sliding Scale Pricing: To make our work accessible (and to cover printing, materials, and our sweetly tedious labor), we now offer work on a sliding scale. Higher prices are for those who can or want to support the press and sustain the art of poetry and fine printing in an economic system that does not care for them. Please choose an option that suits you. If you’re still unable to pay the asking price, email us at tiltedhousepublishing@gmail.com, and we’ll work something out.
