So excited about this. My new poetry text, "Father Tectonic" is now available for pre-order at Ethel website. An intense collection years in the making - writing, shaping, recalibrating. We are also producing a single broadside companion work. Ethel is fierce press & Sara creates #books as #art.

A visual poem from my book "Classic Crimes," due in spring from @sarabandebooks.bsky.social. This (& others) are in the new issue of The Glacier @42milespress.bsky.social. The titles are taken from the text that has been obscured -- this one is called "The Shambles."
