"Crow Ink" is Sharon Auberle's first book. And the fact that it's her first book shows what a lottery publication is in the poetry game, since she's really an extremely good, interesting, sensual, funny, intelligent, technically deft poet (and some with no talent at all infest the poetry magazines like cockroaches or summer flies).
I say forget the summer flies and beetle in her direction. I have been very remiss in not adding a link to her brilliant blog "Mimi's Golightly Cafe" and right now with only ten minutes left on the computer I can't remember the URL to help you get there (how great is MY journalism?) But if you follow Ralph Murre's link you'll find it. Then you can ask Sharon directly how to get hold of her book. There are no publication details nor any price listed on the book, at least that I can find, so you'll have to do it that way. And you should.
Avail yourself of her grace and wisdom.
The book's cover also has a lovely illustration by Ralph.

You don't know about summer flies until you've been to Australia!
in the keweenaw - splake can tell you about these too - we have black flies and mosquitoes in the late spring, followed by deerflys, horseflys and ticks through the summer -
And every one of them has a regular spot in every small press poetry magazine, eh?
