What inspired you to write this Chapbook/Book? What else should we know about it? Or just add the Blurb.
I love the poetry of Russell Edson. The title poem derives from his maxim, “Words are the enemy of poetry.”
What was your journey to publication like?
Like returning to earth from outer space. I almost burned up.

I’ve had five other chapbooks published, but no news forthcoming yet. No poems in press at the moment.
