All prices include postage and are approximate. Discounts are available on bulk orders. Pay what you think is fair, send any amount you like and get the book(s) you want. We believe that in a perfect world poets and publishers would be paid for their often tireless work. But we also know that not all compensation comes in the form of cash or is even tangible. We give a lot away free to spread the good word and will gladly provide you with a book if you want/need one but can't afford it. Yet we are most grateful to those who can and do buy our titles or otherwise donate to the press. PayPal us to jc@crisischronicles.com. Lifetime subscriptions are available for $500 and include copies of all our books currently in print and any we publish in the future.

Between now and the end of 2016, Crisis Chronicles Press plans to publish works by: Christopher Franke, Lisa Cihlar, Helen Shepard, Lyn Lifshin, George Wallace, Juliet Cook, Steven B. Smith, Dianne Borsenik, Carolyn Srygley-Moore, Meg Harris and more.
