Dunaway Books

From St. Louis to the wider literary underground, these four collections showcase the vibrancy and range of bold new voices in independent poetry today. "The Unheard Music" by Daniel W. Wright (Kung Fu Treachery Press, 2024) pulses with punk energy and sharply observed truths from one of St. Louis’s most dynamic poetic voices. Heather Kays' "Myths in the Feed" (Crying Heart Press, 2025) explores modern mythology and digital intimacy in a much-anticipated debut. New York poet Scott Laudati’s "Bone House" (Bone Machine, 2018) delivers raw, confessional poems that mine the grit of everyday life. "And It Made a Sound," a collaborative art-poetry project by Kyle Brandt-Lubart and Bobby Stevens, brings visual and verbal language together in striking harmony.

Each book is a testament to what indie publishing can do: take risks, push boundaries, and remind us of poetry’s power to reflect—and shape—the world around us. Come grab a copy and explore our ever-expanding collection of independent literature today!
