On the heels of this week's snow and sleet, the wind has come howling in. Today at the Press we're feeding the woodstove, catching up on reading and writing, and going over proofs of Wind Intervals, the new chapbook of poetry by Jeff Schwaner.
“What is the sound of a loosening of leaves
like forgetting hands just before they drop
to our sides?”
One of our favorite poets, Jeff brings to his work a deeply engaging mixture of observation, introspection, and connection. We are honored to be publishing his next chapbook of seven poems, carefully selected and printed by Emily Hancock.
Recently, we invited Jeff to the Press to record some of his poems. Let these whet your whistle for the rest of the book!
