If you're enjoying the site...
Consider checking out my book of poems, NORTH AMERICAN STADIUMS.
Published by Milkweed Editions (2018), the book is described by Booklist as “Exquisite…Chambers executes a magic that is perhaps unique to poetry: he conjures a moment from nothing, draws the reader inside, and disperses the spell with something as gentle as a shift in the wind direction, or a quiet revelation…A crackling first act by a promising new poet.”
Thanks so much, and I hope you continue to enjoy the photos, poems, prose, and music here!
