“Save this date, my friends. I am happy to announce the pub date of May 20th for BLOOD FLOWER, my collection of poems reissued by the marvelous Red Hen Press! I would appreciate it if you’d order a copy on that day to celebrate this book that was out of print after being named a Notable Book with a Starred Review in Book List! These poems tell the story of my immigrant family. Yes, there have been revisions. Please help me celebrate on May 20th by ordering from Red Hen Press or your local independent book store! A BIG THANK YOU TO MARK CULL FOR THE BEAUTIFUL COVER! HERE IT IS! Thank you for your support! NOW MORE THAN EVER WHEN THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY IS UNDER SUCH TERRIBLE STRESS WE NEED TO BUY EACH OTHERS BOOKS! WE NEED TO SUPPORT SMALL PRESSES LIKE RED HEN WHO’VE LOST NEA FUNDING!”
