THE STORY OF THE WEST IS OURS TO TELL.
Matriarch: Meditations on Motherhood
Mother. Matriarch. Mourner. Maker.
This is a book for all of them, and all of us.
Matriarch: Meditations on Motherhood gathers voices from across the spectrum of maternal experience, celebrating its beauty, complexity, and ache. Featuring original poetry, prose, and visual art from more than 30 contributors across Colorado and Wyoming, this collection offers a moving tribute to the many forms of motherhood and the emotions that define it.
Whether you are a mother, hope to become one, or are grieving what was or might have been, this book invites you into a shared space of tenderness and truth. These pages speak to birth and loss, legacy and longing, fierce love and quiet sorrow. With work from both emerging and established writers and artists, including those navigating infertility, separation, and grief, Matriarch refuses to flatten motherhood into a single narrative.
This intimate and evocative chapbook from Twenty Bellows honors the full, messy spectrum of the maternal experience.
It is a gathering, a reckoning, a hymn.
It is for mothers of every kind.
We are the West: Embers
The West has always belonged to fire and to those who burn. We Are the West: Embers is a searing collection of prose, poetry, and artwork from the voices of Colorado and Wyoming—voices that crackle, smolder, and refuse to be extinguished.
Edited by James P. Stuart, Marissa Forbes, Abigail Byrd Stapleton, Cecily Stone, and Trystan Popish, this third edition of the We Are the West anthology series gathers stories of transformation, resilience, and raw beauty. These pages are filled with sparks—stories and poems that challenge, unsettle, and illuminate. Some burn slow, their heat lingering long after the final word. Others rage with uncontained intensity, igniting deep truths and pushing beyond the boundaries of expectation.
For those who have ever felt the pull of the horizon, the heat of revolution, or the quiet power of a lingering spark, Embers will light the way.
