I have another book forthcoming. Some of it covers years of my young womanhood, a fraught time, and I am apprehensive for that reason as to how the book will be received. It feels great to have these poems collected together and soon-to-be published. Big thanks to Tara Huck and Tom Montag, for writing blurbs.
