Compline is very pleased to announce two brand new books: one that's been gestating, very, very slowly, for nearly a decade now, and one we designed and printed in less than two months, fully letterpress through and through!

Taylor Brady's new full-length poetry collection, In the Red, is long in the making, and we are so very excited to finally share this genius perfect-bound collection with you for free! Brady's first collection in 15 years, In the Red features artwork by Norma Cole, along with some of Brady's most trenchant writing ever!

Additionally, we are pleased to announce the release of Lynn Xu's Tournesol, her first new work since her genius full-length debut, Debts & Lessons (Omnidawn, 2013). 

Ben Lerner writes of Xu's project, "Lynn Xu makes the poetic line a little theater where the belatedness of language is felt—and sometimes lulled into suspension. [She] is an expert at multiplying sites of resonance and ambiguity, of conjoining or confusing epochs and zones, braiding her lines into a “wreath / in which time, unleaving did / Row back, backward its small current.”

Both books are now available for free right here!
