Foundlings Press

It's 2026 and Foundlings Press is turning 10. We hopped on Aidan's podcast to comb over a decade of memories and talk about what might be next. Thanks to for hosting. Check out Organizing Isolation wherever you do your listening.

In 2026 Foundlings Press will turn 10 and Lost Roads Press will turn 50. To celebrate, we're putting out our first-ever joint catalog, one that features four poets who've been important to both presses. Lost Roads will reissue Besmilr Brigham's RUN THROUGH ROCK and Kamau Brathwaite's TRENCH TOWN ROCK. Foundlings will release HOW TO SACRIFICE, the debut book of poems by Mick Cochrane, and GRACEFUL TO BE HERE: SELECTED POEMS OF GERRY CRINNIN.

Putting out all four books will exhaust our bank account (and then some), so we're launching a Kickstarter where you can pre-order the catalog as a bundle and score some bonus items. Individual titles still can be pre-ordered on our website.

Thanks to all who've been on this journey for the past 10 (or 50) years! None of this would be worth it (or possible) without your support.

We're sending all sales of Strays Pack 8 and Peach Mag's Mixes 1-4 to The Sameer Project ( ). We'll send donations weekly while sales continue and supplies last. Read more and order on our website.

Congratulations to Sara Dallmayr, winner of the 2025 Ralph Angel Poetry Prize!
