What? You say you want a post full of poetry news, and you’re tired of all my health updates? You’re in luck! Today’s post is nothing but poetry news!
The ARC is almost ready to go out for Field Guide to the End of the World., and just as it was finalizing I received two acceptances from journals for poems in the book – so they made the acknowledgements list. The full cover is presented here for the first time, with Charli Barnes art on the front and back! I love the way it looks like an old-fashioned college field guide. Matthea Harvey’s blurb is featured on the back cover; the other blurbs (by some of my fave writers, including Jason Mott, Sandra Beasley, and Ryan Teitman) are on the inside cover. I’d love to hear what you think!
If you want a sneak preview into the book, a few poems are now available online!
Thanks to Tinderbox Poetry for featuring two poems from the upcoming book in its latest issue, “Post-Apocalypse Postcard from an American Girl” (yes, that is a Tom Petty reference) and “Remnant.”
