Featured Poet of the Month
This month my poet obsession has been Ilya Kaminsky. I read his book Deaf Republic last year and had the opportunity to see him read. (His book was a National Book Award Finalist!) It is truth-telling beauty.
Check out his work here.
Fossils debuted in June 2019 and can be found here, or message me for a signed copy!
