Sixfold

Toni Hanner (tonipoet)

I've been writing poetry for about 30 years. My focus now is on experimental poetry and surrealist poetry, although my Sixfold entry does not necessarily reflect this. I have two books out currently, The Ravelling Braid (Tebot Bach, 2012) and Gertrude (Traprock, 2012). Gertrude was chosen to be a finalist for the 2013 Oregon Book Award, and is a collection of what I call my "weird stuff." Gertrude's cover art is by Terry McIlrath, and I loved it so much I recently had it tattoo'd on my arm! I live in Eugene with my husband Michael, also a poet. We enjoy travel and dancing Argentine tango together. My current favorite poet is Laura Kasischke. The Ravelling Braid is available from Amazon -- drop me a note if you'd like a copy of Gertrude.
