📗💀👻🎃
Although this three hour course will appeal to military and veteran writers who want to learn how to translate their military experiences into spooky tales, all of our courses are open to the general public, this one included.

The poems in A Toad in a Glass Jar illustrate the intersection between the wonder of nature and the horrors of war. Stan Lake writes about the dissonance of being torn between two worlds. In another era, he’d have been an explorer hacking his way through terra incognita. This collection of poetry is an attempt to make a trail through a perilous world and find meaning off the beaten path. With the eye of a scientist and heart of an artist, he guides the reader on a journey through chaos to some form of resolution. These poems lay bare the human experience like a raw nerve, challenging the reader not to look away.
📗
STAN LAKE is a writer, photographer, and filmmaker currently living in Bethania, North Carolina with his wife Jess and their house full of animals. He split his time growing up between chasing wildlife and screaming on stages in hardcore bands you’ve never heard of. His work has been published in , , Understory, , .minds.journal , , , and others. He has written three children’s books and one Christian devotional book. He filmed and directed a documentary called Hammer Down about his 2005 deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom with Alpha Battery 5-113th of the NC Army National Guard. He spends most of his free time wrangling toads. You can see his collected works and social media accounts and www.stanlakecreates.com

We are so stoked on the amount of support we’ve received for So Long: The Anthology of Poet Warriors. Preorders from Amazon are starting to ship and we will have some stocked on the website soon.
📗
As you receive yours and digest it, please post about it, tell your neighbor, review it anywhere you can (Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, etc) and keep pushing it.
📗
One chunk of bad news is that some of the preorders that Amazon fulfilled were misprints with some blank pages where the table of contents is supposed to be and the word “foreword” where there isn’t one (we did not put one in this collection.) So we apologize if this is the case. You can initiate an exchange with Amazon if you’d like but we just wanted to let everyone know that the only thing missing from the book in this case is the table of contents. We are hoping it’s only limited to a few but we have less control over things with Amazon so we just wanted to put it out to you guys. Thanks again.
