Big New Day! Dessa has just announced the release of a new chapbook of poetry. Tits on the Moon is a 4×6″collection of 12 stage poems, many of which Dessa performs at her live shows. They’re funny, weird, and a lil bittersweet. The collection opens with a short essay on craft (and the importance of having a spare poem around for when the power goes out). The cover is pressed with gold foil and structurally embossed, designed by Studio on Fire. Published cooperatively by Rain Taxi and Doomtree Records, Tits on the Moon will be released worldwide on October 18th.

Standard and Deluxe Pre-Order options are available from the Doomtree Webstore HERE. The Standard edition contains a copy of the book and a 3D epoxy moon sticker. The Deluxe Pre-Order is where things really start to level up. Check this out…
