Times are hard but the poems are good. 🖤
We’re bringing together some excellent poets for their take on the end of days - the hard, the hopeful, and the zombies.
Come hang in community; celebrate a new book; persist despite the horrors. taken in Page Against The Machine by @doubletextmedia

For the last several months we’ve been working on an anthology. It took a lot longer than we anticipated, but we’re so happy with the result. Queering the Apocalypse: Poems for the End of the World features work from 19 different poets, all bringing their take on the end of days. We have fire, flood, heartbreak, zombies, and more than a little hope for the future.
Available in print now, with an ebook on the way. 🖇️ for copies, or request it at your local bookstore or library. by @doubletextmedia

Submission updates are going out over the next week! It was really special to read these submissions, and we’re so grateful to everyone who sent in work for our first anthology. It look us longer than we anticipated (a lot of life happened over the last month), but we appreciate getting the time to spend with this work!

The 4x4 reading event this weekend was a success ☺️

We failed to take a group picture, but everyone was great and it was a full house! Thank you to everyone who came! We’re excited to host more @doubletextmedia readings soon.

This is a book about near misses; about codependency; about unfinished business. It is about trying to make a home of another person—what that effort gives and what it takes. “The Ways I Tried to Call You Home” is an exploration of what stays long after a relationship has ended.

Order wherever you get your books!

This is a story about the scripts we have a hard time letting go of and the moments we focus on, to the exclusion of everything else.
Through playlists, text messages, flowcharts, and other forms, recurring characters tells the story of one chaotic year and its reverberations.

Order wherever you get your books! Signed copies available at Page Against the Machine in Long Beach, CA.

Double Text is a small publisher & media company centered around queer folks.

Our name refers to the relationship between text/subtext — so much queer experience exists in the realm of subtext, sometimes out of necessity, sometimes because of nuance, sometimes because of imagination. It’s also a nod to the vulnerable experience of sending a second text message after not getting a response to the first — a reach out into the void.

We’re based in Long Beach, California.
