This month we are fundraising for Millstone Books, a Chicago-based micropress that prints poetry and prose out of a giant mill at the bottom of the ocean. Millstone has published many chapbooks like I, Triesis; this is my body, the only thing I own in its entirety; map of a bird; Millstone Magazine and has plan to publish a book-length poetry work in 2027.
