🙏🙏❤️❤️ I’m loving your book Donna!
Cover of No Sea Here in large white block text integrated into a landscape painting of golds, blues and grays with the authors name in black: Dana Henry Martin
You Can't Tell Direction Here by the roads, which are five degrees or so off cardinal. I've never tried to follow anything, not even sun or star. I swear I saw a goose heading north last week, its honk a cry for help through the loose clouds. I suppose navigating is like most anything-go one way long enough and you've gone the other.
Cover of Ghost Hunting Glaciers, dark grey-blue title letters on a white ground above a painting of glaciers with a spiral pastel rainbow sky, Poems Michael Garrigan in thin letters matching title color.
Epistemology: Estuary A melding stillness-her feet sunken firm in this small estuary where creek meets ocean; seaweed and small stones painted with root blood, creeping dogwood in sand around her ankles, spruce holding wind even when water is flat calm at her back. She watches brook trout coast in on high tide chased by some larger fish-stripers maybe? would they eat something so beautiful? and marvels at how they hold the soft color of salt around each faint halo and how their skin maps tides and currents and how one mineral can change a body.
Enjoying reading these two books side by side. Both so deeply rooted in place. @danahenrymartin.bsky.social @mgarrigan.bsky.social
Looking forward to this!

“Viewing nature as something mystical, of which humans are simply one part, is necessary for engaging fully with Ghost Hunting Glaciers … this collection beautifully explores the metaphysical reality of entering the greater than human world."

Looking forward to this!
I just started yours!!!
Black stoneflies are going crazy right now

I'm so glad to have attended the reading tonight with @mgarrigan.bsky.social and @grantclauser.bsky.social, both PA poets I've known *online* and admired for a while now, but never met in person. The work they shared--mostly ecopoetry--is dense with imagery, beauty, and life.
Hey Lancaster PA folks, this Sunday @mgarrigan.bsky.social and I will be reading from our new books at Nooks Gallery & Bookstore.
Happy book release day!
I'll be going to AWP for the first time this year and will be signing books at the Terrain.org table on Saturday, March 7th at 1 p.m. Are there any readings happening Fri. or Sat. night that are looking for another poet? I'd love to participate! Reach out if you'll be there, I'd love to meet up!
I’ll only be there for a day, can I still join ?
Michael McGriff is an incredible poet and I’m honored to have his words on the back cover of Ghost Hunting Glaciers. Please check out any of his collections. When I need to reimagine syntax and memory, I turn to his work for inspiration.

Anne Haven McDonnell has been an inspiration to me for many years. Her chapbook, Living with Wolves, showed me how to create an ecology within a collection and Breath on Coal is a fantastic book that I return to often. I cannot wait to read her newest book Singing Under Snow!

I’m so excited to announce that my latest book of poetry, Ghost Hunting Glaciers, was selected by the wonderful Alberto Ríos for the Grayson Books Poetry Prize & will be published on February 23! I can’t wait for you to meet Dead Elk, Stone Swimmer, & others that comprise the ecology of this book.
Yah! I’ll keep you posted
Yah!!! I’ll be at AWP on Saturday. Will you be around?? I’d love to meet!
Coming soon…
A few new poems from my upcoming collection!!!

a curved line becomes straight but that just means anything orbiting
anything is always trying to get somewhere new.”
