Shop for Print Issues
All the covers and listings on this page are clickable. They take you to a purchase page on Lulu, our print publisher. Many of the issues are also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. If you purchase from those venues enough to reduce your shipping cost, you can search "Better Than Starbucks" on their sites, but we don't make much on those sales. Purchasing on Lulu helps us move toward paying more contributors.
The more issues we sell the closer we will be to our goal of paying more contributors for their work. Thank you all for your support, and for sharing our love of poetry and creative writing. —Vera Ignatowitsch

Mist in Their Eyes
by William Doreski
Click on the cover to order your copy, $15. in the US.
​
Everything is alive in Doreski’s delightful poems. They take the time to see the small things of the world, and they do it beautifully. I also love how he’s not afraid to poke the people around him with wry social needling. You’ll read this book and feel like you walked through your hometown wearing some kind of special glasses that let you see what’s always being going on.
— Matthew Rohrer, Hopwood Award-winning poet and Pushcart Prize recipient.
