NIGHT TALKS NEW & SELECTED POEMS
Release Date: October 15th, 2023
The poems in Night Talks are comfortably below the strange abstract. They settle into real good places. And thank goodness, no tired metaphors park in Terri Kirby Erickson’s yard. Only fresh ones pull in for our pleasure and surprise. These poems go to new places and show us that we all have a precious lot in common—something we need to know, right now.
—Clyde Edgerton, author of Raney and Redeye
All book cover paintings by artist Stephen White, whose work has appeared in MoMA and in galleries in North Carolina, including City Art Gallery in Greenville, NC. Stephen uses the Byzantine technique of applying pure gold leaf in sheets to his painted figures.
Cover designs of Night Talks New & Selected Poems, A Sun Inside My Chest, Becoming the Blue Heron, A Lake of Light and Clouds and In the Palms of Angels are by Kevin Morgan Watson of Press 53, Publisher and Editor in Chief.
