My fourth chapbook An Amateur Marriage was released by Finishing Line Press in April of 2012. You can order directly from FLP or send $14 to the author via paypal or email to discuss other options at jessie.carty(at)gmail.com
An Amateur Marriage was a finalist for the 2011 Robert Watson Poetry Award as judged by A Van Jordan.
For some examples from the book read:
