'TinFish 19' delivers an eclectic mix

It's a given that releases from local poetry publisher TinFish Press will feature verse, but form, subject and author are usually a surprise.

There's no introduction, only title and table of contents — throwing readers right into what feels like someone's private poetry journal. More »
