an important note:

a certain prominent rock group has named its latest album after us. prior to that, our name was borrowed by an east coast hippie jam band wearing tie-dye and those big floppy top-hats people used to wear at raves. however, we came up with the brand name first, in the early 1990's. just so there's no confusion. we don't mind particularly.

if you do not write
in blood

you are no more than
an accountant

you will know
what the truth is

your hand will shake
when you write it

Praise for EXHALE:

"In poems sharp and honed as a stiletto, Suzanne Frischkorn creates out of rage and grief a world through which she saves herself. The book testifies to the resilience of the human spirit and its ability to love. The poems are clear, brilliant, and powerfully moving." --Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Editor, Paterson Literary Review

"Frischkorn's Exhale is as far from breathy as one can get. Her poetry, which reflects the sharp edges of life and our place along them, hits all of the emotional bases. A must read." --Erin Elizabeth, Stirring: A Literary Collection
