Read New Jersey

The heart. The soul. The pork roll.

It’s time to take a trip to the glorious Garden State with our “Read New Jersey Bundle.” Featuring both volumes of our award-winning series, Life in the Garden State, and the astounding poetry collection Silk City Sparrow by Eileen Moeller.

The World Takes and Stay Salty are part of the Life in the Garden State anthology series and include prose, poetry, comics, and photography that showcase the mysterious and fascinating elements that make up New Jersey and its inhabitants.

The “Silk City” stood as an industrial giant in the 19th and 20th centuries. Massive and powerful mills worked throughout the years for the American people, making anything from textiles to aircraft engines. These mills are the backdrop and inspiration for this breathtaking collection of poetry in Silk City Sparrow. Eileen Moeller has crafted a beautiful tribute to the stark industrial landscape of Paterson, New Jersey and the people who called it home.
