body of water & the urge to believe is stronger than belief itself
They say the proof of being a poet is when other people want to publish your work. In that case my friend Erin B. is poetry powerhouse! She has two books of poetry out this year:
My chapbook Body Of Water is now available from Thorngate Road. It was awarded the 2007 Frank O'Hara Award. Body Of Water is a garland of sonnets, fifteen braided ones, from my first manuscript, which interrogates boundaries, desire, & awe.
and:
My chapbook manuscript The Urge To Believe Is Stronger Than Belief Itself has been accepted by Cherry Pie Press. It should be published in time for Summer Solstice. The Urge To Believe Is Stronger Than Belief Itself is a cross-genre work documenting someone very close to me's experience beating cancer & my fumbling & righting as I tried to understand what was happening to her & to me as a result.
That is fantastic, Erin! You are amazing!
