John Delaney

Sleepless in Ribadiso
 
Snorers play
a game
of keep-away:
tossing sleep
back and forth
among them
like a beach
ball, just beyond
my reach.
 

John’s publications include Waypoints (2017), a collection of place poems, Twenty Questions (2019), a chapbook, Delicate Arch (2022), poems and photographs of national parks and monuments, and Galápagos (2023), a collaborative chapbook of his son Andrew’s photographs and John’s poems. Nile, a chapbook of poems and photographs about Egypt, will appear in May 2024. He lives in Port Townsend, WA.
