MORE ABOUT JOANNE

FORTHCOMING BOOK OF POEMS

Nothing Is Stationary

newly released from Holy Cow! Press in Duluth, MN

Nothing Is Stationary is absolutely the right title for this book, so full of unexpected shifts, changes, and new terrain. Sometimes a poet has the gift of being able to write poems that feel as if they are about everything at once. Such poems seem, effortlessly, to be open to the whole world, to its tragedies and its loves, its moments of inspiration and defeat…Joanne Esser is such a poet…”
