Poet Against Empire beret

3 headshots of Lan Lesmeister; they wear a different colored beret in each

HFR Art & Web Editor, Lan Lesmeister, models all three of our Poet Against Empire berets.

We’ve restocked a limited number of our berets, which sold out in half a day during the 2026 AWP conference! Each beret is embroidered with “Poet Against Empire.” Our green and black berets feature a light pink text. Pink berets feature black text.

Berets are $15 + $5 shipping. We regret that we can currently only ship to US addresses.

Please note that any orders placed after April 2026 will be slower to ship as our editors are on summer break. If you have questions/concerns about estimated shipping, please email us at haydensferryreview@gmail.com.
