LATR Editions

Love Among the Ruins, or LATR, is a small press named after the unfinished Evelyn Waugh novel and based in New York City. Founded in Summer 2009 by editors Daniel Lin and Margaret Monaghan, LATR will publish an online journal and letterpress chapbooks of poetry.

New Laura Jaramillo Chapbook!

We’re happy to announce the publication of Laura Jaramillo’s CIVILIAN NEST.

“CIVILIAN NEST, the second poetry chapbook by Brooklyn/Queens/Philly poet Laura Jaramillo, is a pronouncement of friendship in a nightmare summer landscape of bendy straws, retail power couples and death. These post-capitalist love songs, radiated across the page in jagged verse-paragraphs and with defiant agrammatism, demand a close attention akin to prayer.”

Laura Jaramillo is a Queens poet who is the author of “The Reactionary Poems” (Olywa Press). If you’d like to order a copy ($12, mailing costs included) just write to daniel@loveamongtheruins.com with the number of books you’d like and your address. We’ll send you books and a bill.

Pics of the lovely aquamarine cover coming soon.

Also, we’re having a LATR reading in Chapterhouse in Philly this Saturday evening with Laura, Heather Green, and Daniel Lin. For details: http://chapterhousereadings.blogspot.com/
