Brady Kumpf is turning 14 this weekend, and I've just had the honor of publishing his first chapbook, To My Beloved Puppy.

And went flippin’ insane

As both a poetry lover and dog lover, this chapbook was a real joy to work on. I'm proud to have published the first chapbook of a fine, young writer. I'm excited to see what he does next.
