Last year, I answered a call-out from the newly revitalised 5 Islands Press for excerpts of new manuscripts. I can happily report that I was fortunate enough to have my offering, The Ease of Eggs, selected as one of eight publications slated for release in 2025.
The Ease of Eggs is a selection of poems written between and after Regulator and Airplane Baby Banana Blanket. A majority of the pieces has appeared individually in journals and anthologies, but they have never been collected in one volume. Of course, there are also some newer poems that have not yet appeared in print. I'll post updates here throughout the year as developments and details such as dates become available.
A bit over a decade ago, I'd have laughed if you'd told me I'd ever publish a poetry collection. I'm so grateful to 5 Islands Press for having faith in my work and helping to bring my third into the world!
