Dear Stephen Collis:
Many thanks, as ever, for having a look at the five poems attached here. Whatever your decision on these, I appreciate very much your consideration of them.
Recent poetry collections of mine include Built to Take it: Selected Poems 1996-2013 from Spokane’s Lynx House Press and The Order in Which We Do Things: The Poetry of Tom Wayman, selected and with an introduction by Owen Percy, from Wilfrid Laurier University Press in Canada; both were published in 2014. A collection of new work, Helpless Angels, is forthcoming in 2017 from Thistledown.
A collection of my short fiction, The Shadows We Mistake for Love, was published in fall 2015 by Douglas & McIntyre; all the stories are set in the valley in the Selkirk Mountains of southeastern B.C. where I live. That book in June won the Diamond Foundation Prize for Fiction (Western Canada Jewish Book Awards).
Again, many thanks to you for your consideration of the attached poems.
