Pre-Order Sales for my Forthcoming Chapbook Have Begun!

My forthcoming poetry chapbook, Choose Your Own Adventure and Other Poems, is now AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER. It's due for publication in September, but the pre-publication sales take place now and last until July 22, 2018 to determine the press run size. 

This manuscript was the project I worked on during my residency at Art Farm, Nebraska last August, and I am excited that it so quickly found a home with Finishing Line Press. 

The chapbook's title poem, "Choose Your Own Adventure: The Galápagos Mating Dance" came from my visit to the Galápagos Islands two years ago. In each "chapter" of this poem, I liken the mating ritual of a Galápagos animal to a human mating ritual, and include an original watercolor drawing (of the animal, not humans mating!). 

Getting a chapbook of my own poetry published has been a goal of mine for several years now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing these poems.
