How We Became Human – Joy Harjo
Joy Harjo weaves emotion and language beautifully, and this collection covers several years of her work.
The Lake Of Dead Languages – Carol Goodman
I’ve followed Goodman for several years now. She writes gorgeous prose and mixes in mystery with haunting memories.
Alice Beecher
She writes poetry about Appalachia the way I see it in my dreams.
Stephen King
I can’t leave him off a favorites list. He’s inspired me since I was 9 years old! My latest book of horror poetry has several pieces inspired by his works.
Alix E. Harrow
The first time I read her story “A Whisper In The Weld” I cried and then re-read it. She was immediately cemented as a favorite writer. Her style is almost musical.
