  BOOK DEAL: On the Subject of Blackberries  

New Poetry from Stephanie M. Wytovich

We have signed a deal with Stephanie Wytovich for her next poetry collection coming at the end of this year.

“On the Subject of Blackberries was a project born from my diagnosis of post-partum depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder in early 2022 after the birth of my daughter,” Wytovich said. “The collection is a quiet little monstrosity about the unspoken horrors of motherhood, loneliness, and the feeling of being haunted, but there’s also a fair amount of witchcraft tucked inside to protect the characters and ward away the bad.” Read the full announcement here.

  Vial Thoughts Book Signing  

June 24th, noon-4pm • Alderwood, WA Barnes & Noble

"Essler's exquisitely beautiful writing makes this a purely delightful read. Yet it still manages to veer in the direction of social commentary with the way topics like religion and the accumulation of knowledge are portrayed."

—Glamorous Book Gal
