Preorders help establish new voices in the poetry community — your support means a great deal
As a thank-you to those who support this chapbook, ten people who preorder Sogni d’oro by November 20th will be randomly selected to receive an artist print of the oil painting used as the cover art.
My husband, Luis Alfonzo, will number and sign each print as a part of his limited series — a keepsake from the world of the chapbook, and a token of deep gratitude for your early support.
Preorder is available now.
The chapbook will be released January 15th, 2027
