I just received word that my friend, poet/author Jean Barrett Holloway has published her new book, KWAJALEIN ISLAND: How My Family Came to Live There and How the Big Bombs Came to Blow.

I was fortunate to get to read a pre-published proof sometime back and here’s my blurb review on her book:

“This book reveals her many talents as: poet, family biographer, historian, psychologist, anthropologist, and environmentalist. The final result is nuclear…Highly Recommended Reading.” —Steve Hodel, New York Times bestselling author of Black Dahlia Avenger

Here’s a flyer from the publisher:

I met Jean Holloway Barrett about ten years ago in Los Angeles and she graciously allowed me to publish her Black Dahlia Museum: An Installation in Four Poems in my 2014 revision of Black Dahlia Avenger II.  (Chapter 26-pages 441-447) Reproduced below.

Congratulations Jean on your most recent publication and wishing you and yours the best of health and happiness.
