Poet and artist Erin Dorney writes, fittingly, from the Northeast. A seasoned zinester and published author known for seeking poetry in new forms all around her, Dorney has now created erasure poetry after Stephen King's Pet Sematary. A hopeful homage, a sometimes parody, and a poignant examination at word craft, Grating, Darling, Full of Dirt goes deep under the nails.

This book was published by Common Meter in the Heart of Ballard. This book is 5.5 x 8.5 and contains 28 pages.
