We are overjoyed to kickoff National Poetry Month 2016 by welcoming Darshana Suresh to Rising Phoenix Press! We are elated to announce that she will release her chapbook Fleur with us later this year!

Darshana’s writing inspires us to find the tenderness in life.  She gives us courage and hope in the same way as Lydia Havens . We are spellbound by the tenderness of Darshana’s poetry and the honesty of her narratives. Her forthcoming collection is a tremendous declaration of love. We are honored to have the opportunity to work with her on this chapbook.

Stay tuned for cover art, official release dates, and short excerpts from Fleur.

You can find out more about Darshana on her tumblr blog. Also, please consider purchasing her debut full length collection Howling at The Moon (Platypus Press, 2016).
