When we launched as a business in 2017 we sent out surprise modern first editions by women in the mail to many of our Kickstarter backers.

These proved so popular and we are bringing surprise modern first editions by women and non-binary writers back!

The poetry first edition we select will be in very good to near fine condition and wrapped in projective mylar jacket. It will be shipped in a beautifully-wrapped package (box or envelope depending on its sizing) using vintage wrap and ribbon. The retail price of the selection will be equivalent to (or more than) our shop retail price for the selected book. Please note, poetry is not often published in hard cover, so these may be paperback! You can select unsigned or signed.

You can answer the three following questions below (and you don’t need to give us women writers for answers) in the comment section at check out or simply leave blank if you choose to receive one at random. If this is a gift, you may do your best to answer any of the questions on behalf of your recipient or write us what you do know that will help us, or let us select at random.

1. If you could have any one book as a first edition what would it be? (Be forewarned! We will almost certainly not send you this book! We will hope to select a complimentary book in a daring act of bibliomancy.)

2. Who are three of your favorite poets?

3. What was the last book you didn't finish? (Or is there a poet you would not like to receive in the mail, please tell us!) e.g. ‘Just say no to Longfellow.’
