The museum of americana proudly announces the forthcoming release of Taylor Franson-Thiel’s debut poetry collection, Bone Valley Hymnal, available for preorder now and set for publication on March 31, 2025. As you may know, preordering plays a crucial role in supporting the indie literary community. Please visit here for more information and to secure your copy today.

As a valued contributor to the museum, Franson-Thiel’s literary talents have enriched our publication. Her poem, Extermination Order, a cornerstone of Bone Valley Hymnal, was featured in Issue Thirty-Three, Spring 2024.

Founded on the belief that every aspect of Americana, whether challenging or celebratory, deserves examination, the museum serves as a vital space for literary exploration. Publishing three issues annually—in winter, summer, and fall—and Americana Stories, a weekly feature of poetry and prose, the museum is dedicated to bringing fresh perspectives on the diverse layers of American life.
