Fort Smith residents Michael and Casie Dodd are behind a new regional press in Arkansas, Belle Point. “Raised in Eastern Oklahoma with roots older than living memory in the Natural State,” the press website reads, its mission is “to celebrate the literary culture and community of the American Mid-South: all its paradoxes and contradictions, all the ways it gets us home.”
On sale or pre-order so far: a poetry chapbook subscription, a handful of poetry and prose collections, some cute merch and a MidSouth anthology. Bookworms, put ’em on your radar.
