Madville-August-2026
August ’26

We have a trio of titles on offer at Madville in August. Two of our Arthur Smith Poetry Prize Honorees, First our 2024 WINNER, Animal Psalm by DeAnna Stephens; then a 2024 finalist we couldn’t dismiss, Titanfall. Then we offer a memoir that is a little different from our usual… it is about messages from the “beyond”: Still in the Universe, by R. J. Lee
