I am very proud to officially announce that my fourth book of poems, The Book of Joshua, will be officially published by Black Ocean on July 15, and is now available for pre-order from Black Ocean. TBOJ, written around the same time as Fjords vol.1, is a singular narrative bildungsroman told in a series of prose poems that span an entirety of a life (1977-2044) told from the perspective of the unnamed main character.&nbsp;
The narrative is divided into three sections: Earth, Mars, and Blood. The long poem, Blood, was recorded with Kyle Morton, of Typhoon, and can be listened to here at Black Cake Records.&nbsp;
The Book of Joshua is my fourth book to be published by Black Ocean, an independent press of which I could not be more proud. This&nbsp;is a cloth-bound hard-cover edition, pearl foil stamp, with a light blue dyed trim. The cover, as with the first three books,&nbsp;The Man Suit, Scary No Scary, and Fjords vol. 1, is designed by Denny Schmickle.&nbsp;
This summer I will be on a reading tour to support TBOJ with Joshua Marie Wilkinson, Mathias Svalina, and a number of other poets at various points along the way. Below is a list of the places and dates. There are more details in the Upcoming Readings section of this site, and I&amp;#8217;ll be updating these details there as I go.&nbsp;
