Carla Coles's first three books - Zarf, Wont, and Pore - have been out of print for too long.

Now, finally, they have been collected in this new edition to be experienced by readers again.

"Words are the waveforms of our beating hearts,

silent until captured on pages by skilled poets like

Coles. Expect to find yourself in these pages."

Dayna Manning, Singer-Songwriter
