Join us in celebration of Mike Delp’s new poetry collection "The Mad Angler", illustrated by Glenn Wolff

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Michael Delp’s Mad Angler alter ego is equal parts environmental crusader and water shaman, and his hostility toward those “feral hogs of greed” isn’t so much invective or diatribe as it is an appeal for sanity in a world gone, well, mad. And at the “heart of the heart” of these poems is a voice attempting to transpose madness into song, rant into meditation, “the mist coming off the water,” and in spite of the “piss swill of corporate runoff.”

“Michael Delp must be proclaimed the King of moving water. I have long been a fan of both his poetry and prose.” —Jim Harrison
