Any writer will recognize the thrill of knowing your publisher really believes in you. So it’s with real pleasure that I saw this from Turnstone Press on the News page of their website here. And on Instagram and Facebook!
“Turnstone Press is pleased to announce that Katherine Lawrence's fourth collection of poetry, BLACK UMBRELLA, will be hitting shelves in 2022.
Katherine Lawrence's fourth book of poetry offers a bold portrait of family breakdown through the lens of a child, a teenager, and later as an adult who approaches love with wariness and longing. These poems speak of long-held secrets, the bonds of love, strained loyalties, loss, and the courage required to embrace happiness through the thickening underbrush of adulthood. BLACK UMBRELLA is a tough and tender collection that contributes to one of the most compelling narratives of the modern age - the contemporary family in transition.”
Big thanks to Turnstone Press for such good promotion. Their conviction makes me even more glad that they’re the people I’m working with on the next book.
