a deep dark black ray of sunshine began as a villanelle written by a nineteen-year-old at the International Society of Poetry convention, and won a publishing contract. The 2003 debut was Julie Kirsten’s first book. Twenty years later, she republished it with new poems and a design that finally matched the work. This omnibus collects it all: the original poems, two decades of poetry written in the spaces between everything else, and the personal essay that earned her the Hermann Schmeling Award for Nonfiction Writing in 2014.
This limited signed edition is only available in the Plumb Creative Books bookshop.
