Cover Reveal!

/ mariezhuikov

I’m interrupting my New England Road Trip travelog to reveal the cover of my latest book. It’s my first collection of poetry. As I mentioned in this previous post, the book came together fast because it’s locally (but professionally) produced. The designer and I had fun playing with ideas for the cover but we settled on this one quickly.

The book’s comprised of poems I’ve written over the past 38 years. Many were published in literary journals, including the one for which the book is named. Here’s a taste:

High Fire Danger

The flame is still there,
sparking,
small and warm.

It was all I could do
to dampen it.
Your breath
kindles it brighter.
Neutrality only a
smoky dream.

I will give you
what breath I can,
but my house burned once
and I must protect
my family from fire.

The paperback is available now on Amazon for $15. Visit this link to buy. I’m so happy to see the book out in the wilds! For info about my other fiction and nonfiction books, please visit my book page.
