Forthcoming from Pebblebrook Press

Pebblebrook Press, an imprint of Stoneboat Literary Journal, is proud to announce the forthcoming release of its fifth poetry collection, Thomas J. Erickson's The Biology of Consciousness. The book is scheduled for release on May 1st, 2016.


Erickson’s poems exhibit a wide variety of voices: the child, the lawyer, the father, the teenager, the philosopher, the dreamer, the lover. In The Biology of Consciousness, the reader journeys with the poet to the heart of chaos, emerging on the other side with new (alleged) clarity regarding the way things are, or the way they might be.

Poet Michael Dennis, author of Coming Ashore on Fire and The Uncertainty of Everything, praises Erickson's work by saying, "Erickson is the first lawyer who has written a book of poetry I’ve read. More importantly, he is the first lawyer to write a book of poetry I love."

Ordering information for The Biology of Consciousness will be available soon.
