Book Release Party: Bone Stacked Oak w/ Ally Eden

Bone Stacked Oak Poetry Book Release Party with artwork by Jessica MacMasters Join us for a night of poetry, art, and celebration for the release of Ally’s debut book of poetry, published by Saltmine Books. To pre-order your copy visit https://www.saltminebooks.com Every printed word in Ally Eden’s Bone Stacked Oak strikes a bell that rings in effortless ache, and teaches us beautifully brutal and lasting lessons on thriving, surviving, and above all, loving, no matter what. The poems tend our hearts in all our wounded, healing, blossoming, and infinitely spacious forms. Ally Eden presents us with this ephemeral yet essential “taxonomy of holiness.” -Melissa Mitchell, author of Portrait Lands, Fort Collins Poet Laureate 2024-2026 About Ally Eden: Ally Eden (Former Poet Laureate of Fort Collins, Colorado) writes poems that are vibrant, poignant & tender. An English/Spanish interpreter by trade, Ally’s poetic ethos parallels her role as a linguist—bridging difference by way of words. Their work invites readers to conversations about current events while invoking reverence for humanity & nature. Committed to making poetry more accessible and inclusive, Ally co-founded the Gulo Gulo Poetry Collective, The Rabbit Hutch peer-learning academy, and facilitates bilingual workshops for poets and musicians, immigrants and refugees, incarcerated writers, and queer youth. At the time of publication, she is living with stage IV cancer in Fort Collins, Colorado, in a beautiful home with her incredible wife Alysia Kraft and their five pound chihuahua, Uchi.
