We are proud to announce the 2026-2027 Glass Chapbook Series.


Marylyn Tan is a queer, female, Chinese Singaporean, linguistics graduate, writer and artist. Her first volume of poetry, Gaze Back, is the lesbo Singaporean trans-genre witch grimoire you never knew you needed. Gaze Back was shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Awards in 2019 and made Marylyn the first woman in history to win the Singapore Literature Prize for poetry in 2020, the nation’s most prestigious and longest-running literary award. Her work addresses the body, queerness, and the conditions of alienation and marginalisation, through trading in the conventionally obscene and radically pleasurable, often drawing from themes of the occult and esoteric.


Slater By The Sea is a flicker on the horizon. They are the 2025 winner of The Pinch's Page Prize in Nonfiction. Their poetry collection, GAY POEM WITH BIRD, was a finalist for CutBank's 2025 Chapbook Contest.


Penny Wei is from Shanghai and Massachusetts. She can be seen on West Trestle Review, New Plains Review, The Central Dissent and elsewhere.

Subscriptions to The 2026-2027 Glass Chapbook Series are now available for the special early bird price of $19.50 (shipping and handling included).
