Great collection Gary! Thanks for introducing this poet to me! Cheers!
Thank you! Enjoying her work right now ... impressive.
(p.s. Gloom Cupboard, the litzine, is always open to good non-Western writing provided of an English translation if necessary. I can only mention it for a press like yours and a writer like Arja!)
