    About this ebook

    This collection is one winner of our Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry. Davis already has some really excellent blurbs provided (Jericho Brown, Eduardo C. Corral, Timothy Donnelly, Rae Armantrout, Ilya Kaminsky). Davis is well-connected within the industry. This book will be coming out just days before Halloween, so we’ll be marketing it at the best time of year. Some parts of the cover will have spot gloss.
