In a powerful interplay of striking descriptions with tender intimations, Empties, Neil Surkan’s third poetry collection, reckons with fatherhood in a depleted and collapsing environment: Is it possible to nurture new shoots while the fires close in? Out now! buff.ly/CloZuTa

My new book is now officially out in the world! What a thrill to finally be able to finally hold it in my hands! Sublunary is now available through the @ualbertapress.bsky.social website (see link in bio) and through local bookstores. I hope you like it.

Hi everyone, My third collection, Empties, is out in March! "Empties" as a verb, "empties" as a plural noun. And how empty bottles can sing. 💛 I'll share details about upcoming launches soon. Here's the cover (design by David Drummond)
