ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Scott Ferry helps Veterans heal as a RN in the Seattle area. He learned to write from the vibrant Southern California poetry scene of the 1990s and has continued developing since then by eating as much poetry as can fit in his eyeless skull. Mostly he listens to what speaks in riverbeds and willow thickets and crow wakes. Many of the words aren’t his but are bargained for with the undead through unreasonable soul contracts. His most recent books are Sapphires on the Graves from Glass Lyre Press and 500 Hidden Teeth from Meat for Tea Press.

ABOUT THE BOOK: dear tiny flowers is book of poetry about a child saved by their own adult self, which is a salvation which is as unnecessary as it is impossible. It is a book about accidently squirting soap into a child’s eye and then coaching them, and oneself, through the pain to be able to open the eye and see again. It is about the ghosts inside our landscape and the light inside despair. It is about puzzles and mirrors and the names we fit back together. It is about birds and flowers and worms and wasps. But the book is really about longing and a persistent belief that we will find belonging.
