My chapbook, Dictionary Poems, is now available through Pudding House Press. These are the poems I mentioned in FRUITFLESH, the poems I wrote when I gave myself the assignment to find a new word in the dictionary every day--a word that resonated for me, a word that was ripe--and write a poem around it. I am so grateful to Pudding House for publishing this small collection; they do so much to advocate for poetry in our culture. You can visit them, and order the chapbook, at www.puddinghouse.com (or you can contact me for details at gaylebrandeis@hotmail.com.)
