A BOY’S EYES is a single poem about a boy growing up in Coos. Erik Muller wrote it, Mike McGriff designed the chapbook, and Herb Everett oversaw its printing. It will be available at Tsunami Books by September 10. $10 for your copy in support of a great independent store!

Some Amazon neighbors have a lively website affectionately known as Amazon-ish! Erik is trying to increase traffic and enrich the site’s literary pages. Please visit www.amazonneighbors.com. You will find a lot on many topics; in the poetry section there are poems, craft articles, photos. Your additions are welcome, especially as they focus on speaking to a diverse bunch of neighbors.
