A selection from @MathiasSvalina's THANK YOU TERROR is up at Poetry Daily (with an essay!) poems.com/features/what-…



Thank you to Diane Gottlieb and The Rumpus for this lovely conversation about Dressing the Bear (Trio House Press) that really honored my brother and made me think even more deeply about these poems. Feeling grateful today. ⬇️⬇️ therumpus.net/2024/10/14/sus…

Friends! I’m excited to be reading this Thursday night with Christian Gullette & Jose Hernandez Diaz as part of the Be Well Reading Series year-end poetry celebration! Thanks so much to Nicole Tallman for the invitation! 💙 Register at the link: eventbrite.com/e/elj-editions…


Indianapolis friends! I’ll be at Tomorrow Bookstore this Saturday, 12/7, from 11am-1pm, signing copies of DRESSING THE BEAR (Trio House Press)! That’s tomorrow! Come hang out! 💙


Not on here much anymore. Going to give Bluesky a try. See you there? Bill Hollands.bsky.social





Very happy to be holding my book in my hands. Thanks to everyone who supported me on my journey back to poetry, particularly my husband John Flinn and my son. You can order it here, if you're so inclined: elj-editions.com/mangrove/


Mangrove takes the reader on a journey from denial and shame to acceptance and love. In poems, narrative and lyric, comic and tragic, Bill Hollands explores growing up gay in the late twentieth century, dealing with grief, and creating a family of one’s own.

Psst: Have you ordered my book yet, Make a Wish? Here's what Blas Falconer had to say about it! Get YOURS from ELJ Editions: elj-editions.com/make-a-wish/


If you could have one wish granted, would you ask for another? Make a Wish would. Childhood cancer, divorce, sexual violence, and a teenage girl’s disappearance haunt Azizi Writes' poems, while desire, love, and the sweetness of mornings triumph. elj-editions.com/make-a-wish/
