The Occupation by Jay McCoy, cover image from CSIRO

We are proud to announce The Occupation by Jay McCoy!

“These are brave and hard-won poems, full of poignant witness and startling affirmation in the face of life’s most heartbreaking challenges. Jay McCoy is a keen craftsman, constructing lyrics that whisper and sting and celebrate at once. Here is a poet who truly understands the full expressive potential of his forms, and who mines those forms to maximum effect. But be warned: this is not the typical bland stuff of mild-mannered chapbooks. McCoy’s delicately crafted but harrowing poems will make your hair stand on end.”

—Young Smith

“The Occupation marks the arrival of a brave new voice in American poetry”

—Garth Greenwell

The old you are, the greater at risk you will be for getting something negative happen to you while in most foreign countries. If you are certainly not covered by some comprehensive insurance policies, you could have several serious issues. Thanks for discussing your suggestions on this web blog.

    I have seen that car insurance companies know the cars and trucks which are liable to accidents as well as other risks. In addition they know what style of cars are inclined to higher risk along with the higher risk they’ve the higher the premium rate. Understanding the simple basics involving car insurance will allow you to choose the right types of insurance policy that can take care of your requirements in case you become involved in an accident. Many thanks sharing the particular ideas in your blog.

    Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest
    writing a blog post or vice-versa? My blog discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours
    and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.

    If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!

    Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll
    just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
    your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.

    Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers?
    I’d definitely appreciate it.

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any
    issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a
    lot of completely unique content I’ve either created
    myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all
    over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being ripped off?
    I’d really appreciate it.

    Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
    if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog
    soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!
