Praise for Boundary DisruptionDelicate and sensual, Castaldi weaves traditional haiku imagery with non-traditional stylings in her latest poetry book, Boundary Disruption. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these lush poems, and I took comfort in her tales of longing and regret-a balm for those of us who have experienced personal disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Erin continues to prove she is a mainstay of the international haiku community, and I am excited to watch her illustrious career bloom.-Tiffany Shaw-Diaz, award-winning poet and artist Boundary Disruption is poet Erin Castaldi's chronicle of personal journey during the pandemic. Without a roadmap, in unprecedented times, Erin uses short form poetry to convey a challenge to her core-a test of the bonds of love. At home between New Jersey's Pinelands and shoreline, Erin infuses her poetry with the cycles and phenomena of the natural world that surrounds her. She takes us on a ride, through a tornado of gnats and a persimmon harvest, showcasing the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. This collection is an act of reconciliation, reminding us once again of the healing powers of nature.-Jeff Hoagland, Associate Editor of The Heron's Nest

Out one night photographing moonshadows on snow, she discovers and photographs a dead body. When the body disappears and her negatives are stolen, she joins the chase to solve the mystery and find her negatives. But the Basque sheriff does not welcome her help, and the Chinese residents in town suspect Nellie herself of murder. As Nellie unravels the mystery of the missing body, she encounters a tangled web of revenge, opium addiction, obsessive love and loss, and a haunting story of devotion.
Photographer Nellie Burns and her faithful Labrador retriever, Moonshine, travel to the Stanley Basin of central Idaho with sheep rancher, Gwynn Campbell, and his Basque sheepherder, Alphonso. Nellie plans to spend several weeks in the mountains around the basin at a sheep camp, photographing scenes for a railroad company's travel brochures. When their group arrives at the camp, however, they discover the current shepherd is dead. Basque sheriff Asteguigoiri arrives to seek the murderer and reluctantly accepts Nellie's help in the investigation. But when hapless tourists, lawless moonshiners, and hell-bent cowboys enter the picture, Nellie and Moonshine confront some of the greatest challenges yet to their courage and ingenuity.
