Unbound Edition Press today announced it will publish Don Bogen’s sixth book of poetry, Everywhere We Are. The title is scheduled for publication in June 2026.
Bogen is the author of five previous books of poetry, a critical book on Theodore Roethke, and a translation of selected poems from the contemporary Spanish poet Julio Martínez Mesanza. He’s the recipient of a Discovery Award; Fulbright positions in Spain and at the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry of Queen’s University, Belfast; and fellowships from the Camargo Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
“Don Bogen is a wise and playful poet who manages the political and the personal with equal aplomb,” wrote poet D. A. Powell. “He takes hold of poetry, the shape-shifting god, and in his hands it twists, morphs, relinquishes. Bogen reinvigorates the art by defining its limits, then pushing bravely past.”
Peter Campion, executive editor at Unbound Edition Press, acquired Everywhere We Are for the house, and is editing the work. He writes: “Don Bogen has written a book of poems like no other. As the poet mourns his late wife, he refuses easy consolation, and at the same time, refuses despair: the couple at the heart of the book shine up from the page with tremendous vivacity, just as Bogen’s lines and sentences, and his unique gift of formal invention, sparkle with creaturely particularity and warmth.”
Patrick Davis, publisher and editor in chief at Unbound Edition Press, said, “Great poets dare to live in the in between, avoiding easy answers to life’s hardest questions. This is its own form of literary dissent and we are honored to publish Don’s beautiful collection.”
