Poetry > Friendship

A chapbook of poems, a servant to the vassals of pain.

For over ten years RAYMOND KIRK and Todd Sukany have collaborated on poems that they call mirror poetry, using a simple system of sharing a title, writing for a week (or so) in response, and then comparing the results. Their topics arise from the stuff of life: love, pain, joy, separation, humor, and occasionally more humor. The poems in each "Book of Mirrors" chronicle the growth of the two poets in life and craft. This volume spans 27 April 2016 ~ 28 August 2016.

In 2011 Todd Sukany began writing poems about his experiences as a runner on the thirty-five-mile Frisco Highline Trail in Missouri’s Ozarks. These poems expanded to a collection of over one hundred poems, spanning more than thirteen years of running and writing. Varied in construction, the poems are rooted in the poet’s encounters on the trail.

It's about feeling alive for the first time and feeling sexy for the first time and feeling love for the first time, and seeing myself as someone I had never met before, but could now discover. Some of it is memories, and some of it is dreams, sometimes we are both. DBA's 2nd self-published collection of poetry, but first to be sold: Unbody in Negative Space begins with his late-college return to the town where he was born and raised - but now more than the town has changed, HE has changed quite a bit, too. Join him learning to love himself, inside & out, while experiencing the liminal world.
