The Place of Broken Things - smallReleased today from writers Linda D. Addison and Alessandro Manzetti, The Place of Broken Things, a collection of poetry from Crystal Lake Publishing

From Bram Stoker Award Winners Linda D. Addison and Alessandro Manzetti, comes The Place of Broken Things. Josh Malerman (Bird Box) says: “Addison and Manzetti appear, here, as a songwriting team, certain tunes attributed to one, then the other, but regularly meeting, so that not only do we get to know where each great poet is coming from, but their electric union to boot. At turns gritty and aqueous, this book is totally alive. Addison and Manzetti have written a volume in which literally every line is worthy of being that book’s title.” Pick up your copy today, here.
