Claire Thom’s new collection of amazing haiku, Wildflowers in Oyster Stone, collects some of the freshest and more singularly striking haiku I have read in some time. Her very spare word count and style reminds me of John Brandi’s with their clever “twists” that give the most wonderful “double exposure” effect of a singular moment, such as in “on the rocks/ sidestepping/ crabs” Although most are held in the spare hands of three lines, Thom occasionally delves into a more “American haiku” style, departing from the constrictions of the three-lined, 5-7-5 haiku style preferred by some purists.

We are back!
Although we are at www.middle-creek-publishing.com now.

Although what is happening to our domains and trying to figure out exactly what has occurred is proving extremely difficult, we will be getting things going again as soon as possible.

In the meantime we can be contacted at:
[email protected]

And our titles can be found on Books.by (newer titles) and Amazon.com (both new and older titles).

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Temporarily, please contact us and our editor at [email protected] until we can fix our old email address.

We are presently locked out of our email account. It is causing a lot of issues. Please be patient as we try to regain access to it. Unfortunately all attempts at present have been unsuccessful (Google has surprisingly NO realtime means of accessing any support). At present, we are unsure about our best path forward and no way to contact any of our email contacts. For any correspondence please contact us through the new nonprofit email address ([email protected]) which is a temporary workaround for communication, but not for business, orders, or other financial matters. This has been very frustrating for three days now.

RELEASE DAY! Kate Kingstons collection, The Future Wears Camouflage has been released and is available at our website, in Books.by, or at Amazon.com

“What lies on the surface becomes transformed, multi- layered, a deep dive or an ascending nova, Whether addressing students disappeared in Mexico or aspects of her own life, these poems from an immensely fertile imagination focus with a fierce sparkle. Read “La Costa
Rica” and remember why you fell in love with poetry.”

—Peter Ludwin, author of An Altar of Tides

In often incantatory rhythms and always lush sounds, we are shown how to relish language as a tool for full participation in experience, “as if each spice were its own vowel, each seasoning another consonant.” This is a volume you’ll want to read aloud: “all it asks
of you is to taste, just taste.”

—Lisken Van Pelt Dus, author of How Many Hands to Home

With a heavy heart we mourn the passing of one of Colorado’s most beloved voices, poets, and poet laureate’s, Andrea Gibson . If you aren’t familiar with their work, you should be. They certainly had a heart that was honed by grief and acceptance and love, and that heart—vulnerable, open, and brave—always came through prominently to connect to others hearts and connect people to their own hearts. You will be missed, and celebrated. Your words changed the world and changed hearts.
