​About Erin Malone (from Kathleen Flenniken):
Erin is from Bainbridge Island, and is celebrating the publication of her amazing new collection Site of Disappearance.
 
Here's what I've said about Erin's new book (it's on the back cover!):
 
Out of the exquisitely-crafted poems in Site of Disappearance, Erin Malone has created both a page-turning mystery and a masterful investigation of memory, where symbol and metaphor merge with facts. The poems bend and stretch time and borrow breath and silence from white space. They quietly command you to keep reading. This is a haunting, irresistible, utterly beautiful book.

My name is Aileen Keown Vaux and I am a poet who is based in Portland, OR. Last month I had an opportunity to be a reader at a Shelton, WA  poetry event and in the audience was a person (Amy Leonard) who recommended your reading series to me, suggesting that I may be a good fit for a featured reading. My chapbook, Consolation Prize, is a book exploring regionalism and queer culture in eastern Washington. I have regularly contributed poet interviews to The Rumpus, and have poems published in The Portland Review, Faultline Journal, Northwest Review.  You can find recordings of my work at Pictures of Poets, with the link listed here: https://picturesofpoets.com/Poets/aileen-keown-vaux/
