Djelloul Marbrook’s posthumous poetry collection, The Yellow Suitcase (Pierian Springs Press), is now available in Hardcover and Paperback at Barnes and Noble Booksellers online and at Amazon. Soon it should be available through a network of many thousands of online booksellers globally.
The book includes an introduction by Kurt Lovelace.
This is the poet at the end of a long journey and at the height of imagination.
Thank you Kurt and Larissa!
              Now I set the yellow suitcase down.
Its latches startle bluebirds in their fencepost knots,
                    set marigolds to murmuring.
        My life’s underthings clamor for the light.
                        Their scents dizzy me.
          I strew them on a row of burning leaves
                      and look up over the bay.
                    I think I’ll stroll to Fire Island
             now I feel this whorl of ancient light
                         surrendering its fancy.
         I might even fly if I can pull myself away
                           from all this honey...
From the poem, Fire Island, Djelloul Marbrook.
