After following all roads to Dollywood in The Follower's Tale, Stephen Roger Powers brings the fairy song mother of the Smoky Mountains to a wider world in Hello, Stephen. With poems about tattoos and paint, islands and lakes, secrets and starlight, in a voice that turns from whimsical to melancholy, this second collection of lyric and narrative poetry transports the magic of Dolly Parton to Hawaii, India, and other surprising destinations. Stephen Roger Powers worked as a stand up comic in the American Midwest before discovering his passion for poetry thirteen years ago. His previous collection, The Follower's Tale, was published by Salmon. He lives in Georgia.
