Thanks for this wonderful review of Nikki Wallschlaeger’s HOUSES over at The Poetry Question, Jenny Drai!
We’ve been quiet while we get caught up on some summer projects, but we wanted to share some great photos from Nikki Wallschlaeger’s recent readings in Chicago with Sade Murphy and at the Trobar Ric series in Oxford! If you haven’t picked up a copy of HOUSES yet, you can do so via our website or at SPD!

We thank you for your support!
Pledge Drive

Shadows shift
under feet
that shuffle
to and from
the liquor
store here she
submits to
a noon in
the sun un
quiet no
mother near
the corner
man wants her
to know god
loves her and
there is time
and hope no
mother prays
when she slides
past Him Her
face in calm
diluted
sea water
boiling be
low the side
walk where the
devil roams
His pitchfork
tilted up
poised, waiting
