K.T. Landon’s Abide is a poetry collection about mortality, grief, and the unexpected joy that can emerge from moving through loss. Written over the course of a decade, the poems reckon with the death of Landon’s sister, her own cancer diagnosis, marriage, faith, and memory while finding humor and moments of transcendence in everyday life.

We asked the poet to share the books and writers that influenced her life and shaped her writing over at Debutiful.net.

EXCLUSIVE: Debutiful is honored to share three previously unpublished poems from @ajlasdizdarevic’s forthcoming debut poetry collection, WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT DOGS IN THE VILLAGE, over at Debutiful.net!

The collection examines the long afterlife of the Bosnian War, tracing how violence, displacement, memory, and inherited trauma shape survivors and their children. Drawing on Eastern and Southern European literary traditions, Dizdarevic moves between family history and national history, using psychological portraiture, shifting landscapes, and surreal imagery to consider what is carried forward after war and what can never be fully recovered.

It is available now for pre-order from @cmupress and will come out in February 2027! The cover was designed by @connie.amoroso. by @debutiful
