Exciting news for 2016! We're delighted to announce a July 1 publication date for Tim Mayo's Thesaurus of Separation, a new full-length poetry collection that he's been working on for the past three years.

Tim Mayo lives and writes in Brattleboro, Vermont, where he is also a mental health worker at the Brattleboro Retreat and a substitute teacher.  He holds an ALB, cum laude, from Harvard University and an MFA in Writing & Literature from Bennington College. And if hiking in the mountains hasn't been enough of a challenge, he's been studying circus arts and flying trapeze at the New England Center for Circus Arts in Brattleboro, Vermont off and on for the last ten years.

Tim's previous publications include a book of poetry,  The Kingdom of Possibilities (Mayapple Press, 2009), which was a finalist for the 2009 May Swenson Award  and a chapbook, The Loneliness of Dogs (Pudding House Publications, 2008), which was a finalist in the WCDR 2008 Chapbook Challenge in Ajax, Ontario, Canada, and of which former NH Poet Laureate Patricia Fargnoli wrote: "I love the voice in these poems: Ironic, funny, crafted, Mayo gets the plight of the contemporary Everyman right on target. It's one of the best chapbooks I've read."

Tim Mayo's work has appeared in a long list of journals, too numerous to name here, and his many awards include the International Merit Award for Poetry, The Atlanta Review 1999, 2000; Semi-Finalist, "Discover"/The Nation Poetry Contest 2000; Finalist, WinningWriters.com War Poetry Contest 2007; and five Pushcart nominations.

Phoenicia is excited to be working with Tim to create a beautiful edition of his new collection, and to have the privilege of bringing his fine work to you.
