✨YellowJacket Press, Florida’s premier publisher of chapbooks by Florida poets since 2006, announces the forthcoming publication of Carol Ann Moon’s first chapbook, Sometimes a breast is not a breast is not a breast. The book of 20 vibrant, frank and beautifully-crafted sonnets deals with Carol Ann’s years-long battle with cancer. It has already garnered stellar blurbs. Terri Witek, Director of the MFA at Stetson, has called the book “a lovely and affecting collection by a fine poet.” Lake Angela of Poetry Midwives says, “Moon’s voice is many-faceted and omnipotent enough to conjure the angel form.”

✨We are proud to offer pre-sales of this important and long-awaited collection, which will be out within a few weeks. The fiscal sponsor of YellowJacket Press is KEEP ST. PETE LIT (KSPLit). We pre-selling the book from our website keepstpetelit.org
