Red Bird Chapbooks’ Newest Titles
Gulf War Diaries by Eva Eliav is a compact collection brimming with visceral and emotional power. Originally written in 1990-1991 in the midst of the conflict, these rediscovered poems remain significant today through Eva Eliav's study of the complexities of war. With biting humor and astonishing word choice, Eliav examines the brutality of the everyday, the monotony of fear, and, in the middle of it all, human perseverance.
Mandira Pattnaik’s White Hot Moon is a collection born of the sky and the stars. These pieces are full of birds and skylines, planets and clouds—all things of the air. At once hot and cool, dreamlike and grounded, Pattnaik excels at juxtapositions that surprise and satisfy. This is a collection that soars.

Bookmaking at Red Bird
What makes Red Bird so special is every book is folded, scored, stitched, and “birded” by hand. Sometimes, it is a bookmaker working in her home in the quiet hours of the evening and sometimes it is a group of bookmakers who have come together around our table at our “nest” on a Sunday afternoon. The following video produced by Heather Quinn and narrated by editor Steve Merino is the making of Chiwenite Onyekwelu’s debut collection “Exiled.”
Enjoy!
