Ahl’s chapbook, which won the 2008 Slapering Hol Press chapbook competition, is a collection of poetry about human interaction with the natural world. “I’m thrilled to see my poems arranged in such a beautiful book,” Ahl says. “The letterpress cover and hand-binding, along with several other special details, make the book a pleasure to look at and hold.”
