For those who don’t know me:

I dropped out of the literary scene for 17 years but managed to keep my soul intact. Now I’m back.

I co-edit Shō Poetry Journal with my wife, Dominique Ahkong.

Robert L. Penick is a poet I've admired since I read his first chapbook, Blue Forms, in 1999. The 100 poems collected here are what I consider his best work over the past three decades. Some real gems to be found on these pages.

My first time editing a book!
