We believe in poetry that punches you in the gut and refuses to be quiet.

Riot in Your Throat began as an idea during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 when Courtney LeBlanc found herself teleworking 100% of the time and struggling to keep herself sane and engaged. With a goal of focusing on fierce, feminist voices, she launched Riot in Your Throat in 2021.

Available for pre-order! Books will ship late April 2025:

Underwater by Jill Michelle

Underwater by Jill Michelle is an exploration in grief: two pregnancies lost at twenty weeks, a father consumed by Alzheimer’s, a body assaulted, a marriage failing. This collection carries the reader on a tidal wave of emotions, making them fight for every breath. In this visceral collection we see survival and strength, even when the speaker feels only the undertow of emotions. Underwater will carry you along on its current and leave you on the edge of land—breathless and shaken, but grateful for reading and surviving its storm.
