Contributor Update, Irena Praitis: Rods and Koans

Rods and Koans coverToday we are pleased to announce news about past SR contributor Irena Praitis. Irena’s newest collection of poetry, titled “Rods and Koans,” is now available for purchase from Red Mountain Press. Of the book, poet Alberto Ríos notes, “From elemental odes to precise definitions, rather than each acting in a vacuum, it’s the imaginative connectivity bridging differences that pulses in the heart of this collection. Through these pieces, we are edged toward a better grasping of the great jigsaw that is this world.”

Two of Irena’s poems, “Foundation” and “The Linoleum,” can be read in Rods and Koans and in Issue 1 of Superstition Review.

Congratulations Irena Praitis
