David James's insightful and positive book review of Erica Watson's GHOSTS OF DISTANT TREES appears in both the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner and Anchorage Daily News today. It's gratifying to see such a careful and astute take on this book.

Caught this launch at the Spokane library before it’s time to return to AK… poet Laura Read read from her latest, THE SERIOUS WORLD (Boa Editions) and former WA State Poet Laureate Kathleen Flenniken read from DRESSING IN THE DARK from Lynx House Press. @auntiesbooks.bsky.social sold lots of books!
