Ghost Woodpecker by Dustin Nightingale Published by BatCat Press

Posted on by

My friend and poetry collaborator Dustin Nightingale’s chapbook Ghost Woodpecker has just been published by BatCat Press. It’s his first book and it’s one of those you’ll want to hold close to your skin, like under your shirt when it starts to rain. The poems are very, very short. They’ll break your heart, make you laugh, and provide you with the kind of dirty light we need to navigate our subterranean corridors. This letter-pressed volume, handset with vintage metal type, hand-printed and -bound, features a different found film slide embedded in the cover of each unique copy. So it’s also a work of art on that level.
