Hey, gang — you can order Local Gems Press’ newest poetry anthology from Amazon; see the link below. Its title is Empire Poetry Verse: A New York State Poetry Anthology, and it features poems from nearly 200 poets who have ties to New York. (I am one of them; if you happen to order the book, please check out my love poem, “Like White Plumeria Petal.”)
Local Gems Press has selected my poem “Like White Plumeria Petal” for its upcoming Empire Poetry Verse collection. While I am always grateful to be included in the publisher’s anthologies, I am especially happy to see my work in a volume specifically dedicated to poets from New York.
The launch event for Empire Poetry Verse is scheduled for May 18th in Greenlawn, NY. The book is also available for preorder here at the Local Gems Press website.
Thanks once again to James P. Wagner for allowing me to be a part of this important creative community!
