Kismet Chaos Publishing

New from Kismet Chaos Publishing

all inon Empty

Grief, reinvention, casino life, and the brutal quiet of starting over. Poems written in the middle of the storm, not safely after it.

“Not perfection. Recognition.”

Front cover of All in on Empty by Natalie Halloway: a grayscale portrait of a woman with casino chips over her eyes, her hair dissolving into ink spatter.

The press

An independent house with its cards on the table.

Kismet Chaos Publishing is built on a simple wager: honest writing finds the readers who need it. Kismet is the hand you’re dealt. Chaos is what life does with it. We publish the voices that play the hand anyway — raw, intimate, and all in.
