Thank you to Volume 1 Brooklyn for naming my book “The Messenger is Already Dead” one of their fave books of 2017! xo.

(Thanks too, to James Reich at Stalking Horse Press, for publishing it!) I’m so blown away. I’ll definitely be checking out a bunch of these other books on their list too.
 
This is their blurb about Messenger:
 
Jennifer MacBain-Stephens, The Messenger Is Already Dead
(Stalking Horse Press)
 
There’s a stunning series of contrasts that run throughout the poems in The Messenger Is Already Dead, which dive into history, aesthetics, and the quotidian with equal skill. And somewhere along the way, it establishes Joan of Arc and Jenny Holzer as two of its chief points of reference, which seems eminently suitable for 2017.

Jennifer is a writer who currently lives in Iowa City, Iowa. She is interested in writing poetry, reading poetry, walking in the woods, making little weird crafty things, taking photos, painting, collage, putting things in little boxes and then putting those boxes in odd places, petting furry and non-furry beasts, listening to music in the car, gardening, and designing DIY projects made of felt or old vintage fabrics. She works for two different professors at two different universities. She also wrote four YA non-fiction books a world of time ago when she lived in NYC. One of the women scientists she wrote about knew her grandfather from NYU and her grandfather had a cool story about her. So that was cool.
