The Insomniac's Zoo by Sandra S. McRae
2026 Slipstream Chapbook Contest Winner
30 pages | $15.00 + $5.00 shipping
These snappy, smart prose poems are the latest gift from Sandra S. McRae, whose favorite brew is a heady mixture of sassiness, compassion, and righteous fury. We’ve fallen asleep, but along comes McRae to cry, “Wake up!” And poem by poem, we do. What a pleasure!
—Joseph Hutchison, Colorado Poet Laureate (2014-2019)
