Goodreads giveaway for Beyond Elsewhere

To celebrate the release of Beyond Elsewhere (White Pine Press) I've created a Goodreads giveaway:

https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...

"A wonderfully lyric, mesmerizing poetic meditation on desire, love, the soul, and spirituality. Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac's poems are psychotropic — a beautiful new voice in poetry." —Victoria Chang

"A dazzling hymn to the currents of desire that shape each individual life... Do not miss the chance to take this exhilarating journey." —Christopher Merrill

"Hélène Cardona’s new translation confirms again her exquisite powers and imagination in turning Arnou-Laujeac’s amazing work into an English classic."
—Willis Barnstone

"Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac's intensely visual account, clothed in lyrical image and Beyond Elsewhere by Gabriel Arnou-Laujeac visionary flame, in Hélène Cardona's transcendent translation, easily carries us along in his brightly burning chariot in quest of the Divine.”
—Sidney Wade
