WAMPONOMON: The Place of Shells is a poignant and heart-breaking look at the past we all carry within us. A reflection on place, it is the Long Island of the author’s childhood, but also the history of the land, both real and imagined. It is both small town America and colonialism writ large, and reading through this collection of poems will take the reader on an unforgettable journey through time and memory.


KAREN PETERSEN has published poetry, short stories, and flash both nationally and internationally.  Her poems have been translated into Persian and Spanish, and she has been nominated for numerous prizes, including ten Pushcarts, and most recently long-listed for the UK’s international Bridport Prize, Forward Prize, and Australia’s Peter Porter Prize.  In 2022, her chapbook “Trembling,” published by Kelsay Books, won the Wil Mills Award, judged by Annie Finch, and her poem “The Price of Love” was nominated for Best of the Net.  New work is in The Wallace Stevens Journal and The Cimarron Review.
