REVIEW: GHOSTS IN THE REFLECTION – LETTERS TO ERIN – JAMES F. MILLER (FLY ON THE WALL PRESS)

February 14, 2020 by Christopher Margolin

POETRY’S DEAD (UNDEAD UNDEAD UNDEAD) – JESSIE LYNN McMAINS

October 17, 2019 by Christopher Margolin

POETRY’S DEAD (UNDEAD UNDEAD UNDEAD) – JESSIE LYNN McMAINS

REVIEW: I GAVE BIRTH TO ALL THE GHOSTS HERE – LYD HAVENS (NOSTROVIA! PRESS)

June 5, 2019 by

Reading Lyd Haven’s work makes me want them to win. Makes my real world seem to fade away, replaced with someone I want to see succeed despite and because of their troubles.
