Three chapbooks from Snowapple Press
I’m immensely grateful to Kait McLuhan at Snowapple in the United States for publishing a trilogy of my chapbooks in late 2011/early 2012. She recently conducted an interview with me over e-mail about the three chapbooks, teaching, and life on a small farm. The link is here:

Winter Work
I’m very grateful to have a number of new collections coming out this fall and winter (2011/2012). Upcoming publications include the books Lepidopterists (stately/Plump Publishing, 2011), Spindle and Songs For a Broken Season (both from Snowapple Press, 2011), Wells (University of Alberta Press, 2012), and Love Letters (again from Snowapple Press, 2012).
A new writing cabin at our farm means winter release: a quiet place to create, off-grid and candle-lit, and several more manuscripts in the works.
Here’s to a kind start to the cold season.
