Publisher Marketing: Uche Nduka returns with an explosive new collections of poems based on the Pacific Northwest during the covid pandemic.

"In BAINBRIDGE ISLAND NOTEBOOK, the measure of pleasure is found in the social fact of song. Sparkling with erotic charges and moral conundrums, Uche Nduka's detonates novelty in the name of love. His short lines create the rhythmic force of news that William Carlos Williams celebrated. This is poetry new, brave, and boisterous."
-Charles Bernstein
