Sunday, Mark Fuzie will sign copies of his new poetry chapbook, "Crow Lover Song," from noon to 2 p.m. at Inklings Bookshop, 5629 Summitview Ave. in the Chalet Place shopping center.
Fuzie's collection of poetry is the first publication in the Allied Arts of Yakima Valley's Labyrinth Poetry Series, which will release a chapbook once a year by a selected poet who has amassed a body of work and who is a regular participant in Allied Arts' monthly Poetry Open Mike Nights and annual juried poetry reading.
Fuzie, a Yakima Valley Community College writing and poetry instructor and the author of two novels, read selections from "Crow Lover Song" at the Nov. 12 open mike, when a large crowd turned out for the chapbook debut.
The cover for the handbound chapbook features original artwork by local painter and printmaker Gloria Gonzáles García. Inside is a collection of genuine and deeply honest "family poems," as Fuzie called them at the reading. Many deal with being a husband and father, and the small joys and secret insecurities that come with those titles.
"All this time I thought I was this happy-go-lucky guy, when really I have this paranoia that the universe is out to get me," Fuzie said with a laugh.
