FLESH: Poems and Photos by Tyson Habein | Buy Now
FLESH: Poems and Photos by Tyson Habein is now available! To order, please click on the image that corresponds to where you live, and we’ll mail you this lovely handmade book. We’re really pleased with how it turned out, and we hope you like it.
More about FLESH: This book is a collection of poems paired with black and white photography that delves into longing and lust within the intimate moments of our lives.
What’s unusual about it is that the order of the poems and photos is entirely up to you: There are 10 poems printed on individual index cards and 10 photographic prints, each in their own envelope attached to the book’s cover. The cover arrives tied with a red string, as though you have purchased an illicit package that you must unwrap and discover on your own terms.
Just a reminder – Because payments are processed through PayPal, please make sure your name and address information are current. And, of course, that you’re clicking on the right purchasing link for your country. If you have any questions, email sarahabein AT gmail DOT com.
Keep in mind that each book is handmade, and so there are slight variations with every book.
You can also add the book to your Goodreads shelves. If you’re interested in Tyson’s further thoughts on the book, you can read interviews with him at Big Sky State Buzz and the Great Falls Tribune.
Thanks for reading and your continued support!

Saif Alsaegh: IRAQI HEADACHES Spring Book Tour

APRIL 17th: SPOKANE, WA

As you can see, we have a bit of a gap in our schedule, but we have no official Portland event scheduled. We know that the 20th is Easter Sunday, but if anyone out there is interested in hosting an event on either April 19th or 20th, do send us a message.
Speaking of Portland, Iraqi Headaches is now also available at Powell’s City of Books. Even better, it’s on sale for the entire month of April, so if you’re loading up over there already, do give it a look.
In Great Falls, MT: The book is also available at Hastings.
HOWEVER! The only way to get the Deluxe Edition with the hand-painted slipcover is to order either directly through this site, or to come to one of our readings. Only 100 will be available, and we’ve already sold a fair amount. Come on, be fancy and come to a reading.
Also at these readings, we’ll have the last remaining copies of Infinite Disposable by Sara and Tyson Habein, our previous title (one limited to an edition of 100).
See you there? See you there.

Our next title: IRAQI HEADACHES by Saif Alsaegh
If you’ve been following us on Facebook, you know that our next title is a poetry collection by Saif Alsaegh, Iraqi Headahes.
After a youth spent in Baghdad listening to the words of great rock musicians, and an education spanning the world (Damascus, New York City, Montana) Saif is ready to release his first book of poetry. Written primarily in English, with some poems in both Arabic and English, Iraqi Headaches will explore his journey and place in the world
From Saif: “This book is not an attempt to change the world. In fact, it‟ll leave it empty … as it‟s always been.”
The book will be available this December, but in the meantime, you can pre-order it and help get it out into the world through our Indiegogo campaign. Thanks for your support!
