Atelier of Healing: Poetry About Trauma & Recovery
Boutique Squircle Line Press, in an online anthology launched during the 2021 Poetry Festival Singapore, asks “What kind of personal suffering have you endured and weathered? If one were to navigate such trauma, what are some of the coping mechanisms? How, then, will you render your personal experience into lyric and narrative, to transform the pain into something of profound beauty?”

Wild Gods: The Ecstatic in Contemporary Poetry and Prose
ISBN: 978-0-898234-04-6
“Though ‘ecstatic’ is often used as a synonym for ‘joy,’ our application of the term embodies the entire emotional palette […] Profound grief or outrage can access the ecstatic—as can experiences of extreme pleasure, pain, and wonder. It can explore the profane as much as the sacred and is often an expression of both.”

The Allure of Grammar: The Glamour of Angie Estes’s Poetry
ISBN: 978-0472037-37-7
“In The Allure of Grammar, Doug Rutledge gathers insightful responses to the full range of Estes’s work—from a review of her first chapbook to a reading of two poems appearing in her 2018 book, Parole—that approach these beautiful verbal objects with both intellectual rigor and genuine awe. […] An interview with Estes herself, in which she speaks of a poem as an ‘arranged place…where experience happens,’ adds her perspective to the mix, at turns resonating with and challenging her critics.”
