SWALLOW DANCE

In Swallow Dance — a 278-page collection released on July 1, 2014 — Silver Birch Press has gathered poetry chapbooks by 14 distinguished poets from across the United States. Poets of singular and diverse expression are joined together to celebrate the written word in one voice.

The reader is treated to not just one or two poems by each author, but to a generous body of work self-contained in 14 separate and distinct chapbooks. If flight is a common language of birds, Swallow Dance is a celebration of poets on the wing.

The poets and their chapbooks featured in Swallow Dance are:

Lightning Storm by John Brantingham
All Other Time Is Peace by Kirsten Dierking
The Hollywood Catechism by Paul Fericano
Bone Box by Chris Forhan
Her Blue Dress by Jeffrey Graessley
The Democracy of Carbon by Donna Hilbert
