* Linda Tomol Pennisi's

Seamless is now back in print! *

We're so happy to announce that our 2003 title Seamless by Linda Tomol Pennisi is now available from our bookshop. About this collection, Patrick Lawler writes, “Presenting a poetry of ballerinas and birds, of blood and garden, Linda Pennisi surveys the boundaries of what seems — between coal seam and scar, between place and body, between the sowing and the harvest. Celebratory, sensuous, concentrated, and radiant, this is a poetry of mouths.” Get your copy today!
