How to Buy or Preorder

  1. Start from the title listing. Each book or issue on the site has its own entry with a short description.
  2. Use the "More Info" link for titles that are already available, such as Early & Late. This leads to the page where purchase details are provided.
  3. Use the "Preorder" link for forthcoming titles, such as As Creatures, which is listed as available in early November.
  4. Check prize-related titles. The Silent Conversation and As Creatures are both identified as Editor's Choice selections for the Vern Rutsala Book Prize, so they may be grouped with contest-related announcements.

The site does not display prices, payment platforms, or shipping terms in the available content. Readers should follow the individual title links to confirm current price, format, and ordering options.

What the Vern Rutsala Book Prize Means for Buyers

The Vern Rutsala Book Prize is a contest run alongside Cloudbank Books. The winner receives publication, $1,000, and 50 books. The Editor's Choice receives publication, $500, and 50 books. For readers, this means some titles on the site are prize-winning or prize-selected works, which can help in choosing among the available books.

Practical Notes

  • Availability is not uniform: some titles are "now available," while others are marked for preorder with a future month.
  • The site lists both single-author poetry books and journal issues, so buyers should decide whether they want a full collection or a current issue of Cloudbank.
  • If a title shows only a description and no purchase link, check back or use the site's submission/contact channels for availability updates.
