Pebblebrook Press, an imprint of Stoneboat Literary Journal, is proud to announce the release of its
third publication, a berserker stuck in traffic. Authored by poet Erik Richardson, a past contributor to Stoneboat, this chapbook intelligently
reflects upon the lunacy of mundane existence through introspection and
exploration of an eclectic past.
B.J. Best, Assistant Professor of English at Carroll University
and author of several poetry chapbooks and collections, writes:
...Richardson is a
modern mythmaker. From his cauldron of history, science, philosophy, and
mathematics bubble lives we’d forgotten we lived, or those we thought—until
now—were impossible. [This collection] asks us to recall the wilderness, wonder, and even violence of our collective
past and return to it in our times, chained to cubicles though we may be.
Richardson’s poems remind us of our latent powers, and offer the hope that one
day we will tell stories where we are not workaday dullards, but demigods.
Erik Richardson lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with his
family and assorted pets. In addition to teaching, he attends grad school in
psychology, coaches several award-winning robotics teams, and runs a small
communications firm. He is a three-time winner of the Gahagan Prize at the
world’s largest Irish festival, received honorable mention for the Hixson Award, and is a regular contributor
to Centrifugal Eye. His work has appeared in Nerve Cowboy, Verse Wisconsin, and
Chiron Review among others.
It has been a pleasure collaborating with Erik to bring his
first chapbook to life.
