My fire poems are finally published! Ravenna Press has published Triple No. 23, with poetry chapbooks (short collections) by three poets (including me!). I was so happy to receive a box with my copies on the Winter Solstice.  It definitely brightened the longest night of the year.  Read on for details, and how to get copies.

My section of the book is titled Fire Triangle (Heat, Fuel, Oxygen) and includes 16 poems related to fire and wildland fire fighters, with several accompanying illustrations titled Arbitrary Borders by John Burgess, a graphic artist.

The second section of the book is titled Context for an Afterthought with prose poems by Heikki Huotari.

The third section of the book is titled Desire’s Authority with poems by J.I. Kleinberg.  This poet from Bellingham, Washington, writes collage poems, created with fragments of magazine text.  (They’re pretty cool; I might have to try some.)

How to get copies:

Option 1: If you would like a signed copy of the book, you can message, comment, or email me, and we’ll figure out the best purchase process.  The book is $12.95, and shipping within the U.S. is $5.00.  But if you’re close, I can deliver or meet you somewhere. I’m happy to provide copies until I run out.  Note that this option is the only way I get a bit of money, because, well, poetry.

Option 2: You can order the book from the publisher, here:   https://ravennapress.com/books/series/triple-series/

Option 3: You can ask your local bookstore to get you a copy.  And maybe they’ll order extras.  And maybe lots of people will buy them, and maybe we poets will be famous!!  But not rich.  Because, well, poetry.

Option 4: It should be available on Amazon, too. 

Again, Happy New Year and I hope you read lots of good books this year, including some poetry.
