Swallow Dance

In this original poetry collection, Silver Birch Press of Los Angeles has gathered poetry chapbooks by 14 distinguished poets from across the United States and produced a unique anthology of verse. Poets of singular and diverse expression are joined together to celebrate the written word in one voice. The reader is treated to not just one or two poems by each author, but to a generous body of work self-contained in 14 separate and distinct chapbooks. If flight is a common language of birds, Swallow Dance is a celebration of poets on the wing.
