David Kilpatrick's Guest Writer: Hallie Ruth McGonigal

H.R. has published her first book of poetry! It is called Bones As Ballast and is being published by the Alberta Street Small Press, an indie publisher in Portland, Oregon. It's a hand-crafted book chock-full of some of Hallie's best poems. It's really a work of art in itself. Check out the publisher's site to find out how to order one for yourself. Best of good fortune to Hallie and company in this very classy entre into the world of indie publishing!

Hold on to my habit like thick incarnate material...

Until Love and I are one

Let Love pull me back out to sea.

Until I am no more.

Until Love and I are one.
