Terrapin Books is thrilled to announce that Hayden Saunier’s poetry collection, WHEEL, is now available for pre-orders. We are honored to publish this collection as part of our Redux series. Here’s what John Timpane had to say about this book: “This is the work of a poet at full throttle, full voice, persuading us to join her as she stands in a winter suit of hand-me-downs amid a storm of beauty, loss, and bright abundance, feet in rubber boots, wheeled round, firmly grounded in chastening, gladdening splendor.” You will love this collection!

This looks delicious! Congratulations to Terrapin poet Karen Paul Holmes for her poem!

It’s nice to have my poem “Macedonian Bean Soup” (from my book No Such Thing as Distance - Terrapin Books) in this anthology.
“In these joyful, poignant, and wonderfully vivid poems, meals are crafted and cobbled, foraged and scavenged, relished, remembered, and lovingly shared. Savor is a sensory banquet.” ~ Catherine Pierce, Mississippi Poet Kai Coggin, Hot Springs Poet Laureate
