Ringing the Changes

Update on forthcoming title Ringing the Changes: Preorder ship date has been moved to June 7th if you get your preorder in by April 12th.

I’m deeply grateful to Finishing Line Press for publishing my second full-length collection, a decade in the making. I’m also humbled by the generous reviews of Ringing the Changes from poets David Graham and Frannie Lindsay. Here’s a brief taste, the poem “Grace”:

That recurring dream
where you pour yourself
a paper cup of arsenic

thinking it is water but
pause to question
before drinking and

watch the cup
melt before
your eyes can blink. — Kathleen McCoy, Ringing the Changes (publication date May 3, 2019)

      I don’t know about that, but how I appreciate your kindness and love of poetry, one soul to another.

    Hi Kathie,
    Just ordered “Ringing The Changes” !
    Hope all is well with you. I’m doing pretty well…. I have my nose in one of your books most nights, and Paul’s last book, too.
    Much love,
    Dave
