Every Friday, the PQ Weekly Roundup collects the most shared links in our social media network—bookish articles, reviews, quizzes, recommendations and more—in convenient digest form.

• At Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a public typewriter has become a small publishing house of sorts. Check out this great article on the power of giving people an opportunity to share their words.
• Have you ever felt like your early work is not exactly your best? Imagine if that work was published and out in the world. What do you do if you’re ashamed of your published work?
• The centenary of poet Margaret Avison approaches. In celebration, check out this fascinating conversation about her work between Barbara Nickel and Elise Partridge.
• And if it’s fun you’re after, this handy auto-publicist pitch generator is hilarious and scarily accurate.
• Finally, we are proud and pleased to announce the publication of The Essential Dorothy Roberts! Get an exclusive excerpt from the latest book in our Essential Poets series here on the blog.

Thank you for stopping by for the PQ Weekly Roundup. I hope we’ve given you some interesting tidbits to read on this lovely long weekend. Enjoy the extra reading time!

Best,
