The Hollow Head List

 Our Founder, Faye Holloway:

Faye K. Holloway is a poet, editor, and the founder of Hollow Head Press. Her work explores memory, domesticity, loneliness, and the peculiar ways ordinary objects accumulate meaning. Her poetry has appeared in a handful of independent literary journals, though Faye has always been more interested in writing that falls slightly outside the lines.

After struggling to find a publisher willing to take a chance on her stranger, less easily categorized work, she founded Hollow Head Press in 2023. What began as an attempt to make room for her own writing became a home for other writers whose work refuses to sit neatly on a shelf.

Faye lives and writes in the Midwest.

 Mara Bellweather:

Mara Bellweather is a poet from western Pennsylvania whose work considers weather, family mythology, and the small violences of everyday life. Her poems are often rooted in ordinary places—kitchens, parking lots, grocery stores—and gradually wander somewhere stranger.

 Hollow Head Press published her debut collection, The Weather Inside, in 2024. The collection was praised for its unusual marriage of tenderness and dark humor, and was selected as a finalist for the fictional Hearth & Hollow Poetry Prize.

 Mara currently lives in Pittsburgh, where she teaches creative writing workshops and keeps far too many houseplants alive.

 Jonah Vale:

Jonah Vale is a poet and writer whose work is interested in masculinity, mythology, dead-end jobs, and the strange little rituals of contemporary life. His poems frequently move between humor and melancholy, finding the absurd in places where people are usually expected to be serious.

 Hollow Head Press published his first collection, Small Gods of the Parking Lot, in 2025. The book explores the overlooked landscapes of suburban America through poems about convenience stores, broken-down cars, childhood friendships, and the occasional visitation from a minor deity.

 Jonah lives in Ohio and works, reluctantly but faithfully, in municipal government.

Theo March:

Theo March is a poet and short-fiction writer interested in memory, disappearance, folklore, and things that are almost—but not quite—real. His work frequently blurs the line between the everyday and the uncanny.

His debut collection, Things We Mistook for Birds, was published by Hollow Head Press in 2026. The collection moves between childhood recollections, strange encounters, and imagined histories, asking what happens when memory becomes indistinguishable from invention.

Theo's work has appeared in several emerging-writer journals and anthologies. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where he works as a bookseller and spends an unreasonable amount of time walking around old cemeteries.

Hamille Savorin:

 Hamille Savorin is a poet and translator whose work moves between the intimate and the uncanny. Her poems explore language, inheritance, migration, and what survives when its original context is forgotten.

 Her first publication, Ephemeral Proof, appeared in Yo Art Scene Zine in 2025. Her debut collection, A Catalogue of Vanishing Things, was published by Hollow Head Press in 2026. Written in spare, image-driven fragments, the collection considers objects as witnesses to lives they can no longer fully describe.

 She is currently working on a second collection and a series of translations of contemporary French-language poets. She lives between New York and Montréal.
