Well, it’s been a while. I hope your year has been free of major trouble. Here’s a sneak peek of the likely cover of my next book, coming out in 2025 from Cornerstone Press.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for something good to read, I highly recommend a new anthology, The Literary Field Guide to Northern Appalachia (edited by Todd and Noah Davis and and Carolyn Mahan). it pairs descriptions, habitat and lifestyle notes on key species in the region with poems about those species. Yes, I’m included (my entry is the the mayapple). Among the other poets included are David Baker, Kasey Jueds, Chase Twichell, Lee Upton, Marjorie Maddox, K.A. Hays, Michael Garrigan, Jerry Wemple, Chard deNiord, and many more.

In addition to my Rosemont poetry classes, I was happy to teach a couple of guest workshops for the online poetry journal OneArt (edited by Mark Danowsky). Those were fun, so I’ll probably do another next year.

I have a few more poems included in the Poems section of this site. I’ll continue to include more as they become available online.

Finally, like many others, I’ve left twitter for Bluesky. Find me there @grantclauser.bsky.social

that’s it.
