The fine folks over at @finishinglinepress​ are publishing my latest poetry chapbook in January, and pre-orders have begun!

www.finishinglinepress.com/product/61-central-by-ink/

Pre-ordering by November 10 helps increase the press run, so go here to reserve your copy of an ambient horror poetry collection inspired by the emptiness of Centralia.

What a couple of my poetic heroes said about the read:

In 61 Central “this much is obvious: no-one is home.” An empty town, like absence, has “no vocabulary,” yet Ink’s poetry outlines the shapes of ghosts. The concrete of empty houses turns to “bones” and abandoned couches become “almost-alters.” This collection beautifully leads us through an abandoned town evoking an ache and yearning for all those we will never know.

–Nicelle Davis, Poet, In the Circus of You, The Walled Wife

In 61 Central, Ink explores an old Central Pennsylvania coal town turned ghost town by a man-made environmental disaster and the highway that runs through it. Using language that’s both concise and cinematic, he at times evokes the suspense of Steven Spielberg’s classic film debut Duel and Muriel Rukeyser’s poetic document of environmental disaster, The Book of the Dead. He empathizes with what was and what remains, while his description of the all consuming eternal inferno that rages just below the surface is chilling.

–Tony Gruenewald, Poet, The Secret History of New Jersey

On Inspiration for Writers

Photo by RODNAE Productions on Pexels.com As writers, we are always looking for the new thing that is going to sprint our writing forward. The inspiration, if you will. Procrastinating , spending more time thinking about writing than actually writing. I happens to all of us. When I get a block, I just write through it. You may wind up throwing out what you’ve read, but it will get you moving to…
