Glass Poetry is having a bundle sale on its chapbooks from its first three years.

a portion of all sales through the Glass store, from June 2019 through September 2019, will be donated to @RAICESTEXAS, in support of their mission to help separated families, detained families, unaccompanied minors, and others who are seeking asylum in the United States.
