The rug is a red surprise in the new house,
a glitch in the bareness.
My grandmother haggled it down
between swigs of sludgy coffee in Ankara.
She loved it for its language of geometry,
but didn’t notice the birds in the third border
until she laid her ear on its firmness
and held her breath against the dust.
(Published in the 2013 chapbook Nothing but Sound and World, edited by Patrick Lane.)

thank u Beach Sloth for the cool review!Snow likes the summer. The two never meet. With such heat from the summer the snow wishes it could visit. Cars encase their owners. Everybody feels safe in their cars though it rarely meets that expectation. Lots of things never make it judgement-wise. Foolish decisions define lives, millions of them. Good decision making takes time. By the time a person perfects it it is usually too late.…

Tree Light Books, the handmade chapbook I run, added another title to our catalog today: Tasha Cotter’s Girl in the Cave. An exploration of the south-central Kentucky landscape and a journey through the caves that lie underfoot, Girl in the Cave delves into the land and how it shapes our perspective.
These poems are thoughtful and inquisitive, both accented and driven by a curious landscape of caves, and “constantly surprising” (Charles Rafferty). Julie Hensley has said “The speakers in these poems follow and mourn the fissures of their pasts, knowing all the while each split makes a future upthrust possible. Cotter is a master at recreating the trapdoor effect of sudden, deep recollection.”
Additional praise, numerous interviews and publications can be found here. Beautiful, handmade (even hand-sewn!) chapbooks can be found here.

Recently, I talked with the folks at Speaking of Marvels about my chapbook Mole People (BatCat Press) and my work with Ghost OceanandTree Light Books. Huge thanks to Ashton Jones for these incredibly thoughtful and interesting questions and to Will Woolfitt for the space to talk about the things I love.

My first chapbook is now available from BatCat Press! Each chap is handmade by the incredible staff at BatCat and features unique (read: badass) dust covers and letterpress hardcovers underneath.
You can order it here
& add it to your Goodreads here
& peruse BatCat’s other almost-too-beautiful books here.
The newest title from Tree Light Books, C.J. Opperthauser’s Cloud the Shape of Bedroom, is now available for pre-order! The cover art we’re both in love with, and we have local Fort Collins artist Mary-Ann Kokoska to thank for that. The image, “Eclipse,” is from her stunning Fire and Rain Series.
We decided to up the ante on the pre-order and throw in free postcard-size prints of Chicago mural artist Sick Fisher’s “Mangy Bear,” which he painted in response to Kathleen Rooney & Elisa Gabbert’s “A Bear with a Severe Case of Mange,” which first appeared way back in Ghost Ocean 3, which was before Bernie Sanders was a household name and before Donald Trump clogged hearts and national news coverage. Simpler times.
It’s been invigorating working on this chapbook with C.J., and the praise the chapbook has garnered is both well-deserved and truly connected to the spirit of the book. You can add the book to your Goodreads (and why wouldn’t you?), so that after you finish the wild ride that is Cloud the Shape of Bedroom, you can be sure that all your other bookish buds know just how much fun you had.
And in case you need further convincing, remember these limited edition chapbooks are hand-sewn with love, and I’ve endured numerous paper cuts to get C.J.’s high octane poetry into your hands.
What a delight. My author copies have arrived! Really cant thank @the_operating_system enough , & for all of my fine pre-order folks, many thanks to each of you! June 21st is the official release date, &, if you’d like, you can catch the pre-order rate til then (2 days). Thanks for reading along, & Happy almost-Solstice ☀ #poetrycommunity #philadelphiapoetry #poems #chapbook #chapbookdebut https://www.instagram.com/p/By5VbJpBrOp/?igshid=10tjp2f1ymxmt

I am so excited to announce the publication of my first poetry chapbook from Bottlecap Press! Hotel Ghost discusses the relationship between lingering and dreaming. I wrote these poems over a period of two years, on and off, while working on another poetry project! Here and there, this little collection developed a voice and a shape. It was a bow and arrow. It was a crystal left out in the rain. It was a voice coming through wallpaper.
Preorder a copy here for just six bucks. Let’s be amazing. Read some poetry.
I have a new chapbook, Left of the Dial, coming out from Scumbag Press in August. All the poems are about by my days as a college radio DJ, and/or inspired by songs I played on the air back then, hence the title. You can hear one of the poems, “No One’s Little Girl,” on Hello America’s Spring 2022 Collection.
