T-Sky is an exciting online journal which has recently launched a book press in Vermont. Tarpaulin Sky says of A Mirror to Shatter the Hammer: "A cast of the old world and postmodern narrators cohabit these sparse fables, at once deranged, shrewd, naive, and mildly heroic....These are love poems -- written by everyone to no one in particular."
