Here's the cover of my book coming in June @BellePointPress. It's about climate change, picking ditch weeds with my kids, corn mazes, forest fires, my grandparents' farm, creek floods, the songs that are sung in a land that's stolen, spoiled & strange. You can pre-order today!

"I love this corn for its gravitas: / heavy as milk glass, alive as an animal." A favorite poem in @AnnaLauraReeve's book Reaching the Shore of the Sea of Fertility

"these poems stretch beyond the covers that cannot contain them and weave their way like kudzu into the stained fabrics of so many lives." Much gratitude to @ecobooklover (Jessica Cory) for reviewing The Night the Rain Had Nowhere to Go in Change Seven!

Grateful for this thoughtful profile of the press, the conversation with Rilla Askew, and the shoutouts to our upcoming books by @laughingyeti & @AmericanGwyn:
The two-year-old small press's mission is to put books by Mid-South writers in hands of readers everywhere.

"What remains after rebuilding: A pile of bricks left over after construction of the new edifice. A heap of colorful fragments. (Kaleidoscopic recombinations of memories, images, quotations, parenthetical asides, notes.) A flood of ideas...." @doylejacq

Yesterday was publication day! My poetry collection, The Night the Rain Had Nowhere to Go, is out from @BellePointPress! * "Woolfitt brings together elegy and awe. Part environmental documentary, part folk songbook, each poem manifests Appalachian places riddled with mystery."
