Unbound Edition Press today announced it will publish Eleanor Goodman’s second collection of poetry, Lessons in Glass, which is the seventh book in her impressive body of work. The title is scheduled for publication in June of 2026.

These poems interrogate what it means to inherit fragility — from family silences about miscarriages and torture to eroding villages and protest squares. “This profound collection is a confidently feminist intervention that pushes back on the limitations the world puts upon women and the human rights violations against dissidents globally.” -Patrick Davis, publisher and editor in chief
