Ashley, Michigan, Poet Publishes New Collection

"Fifth Column," a new book by Eric Cordray, has been released RoseDog Books.

This is Eric Joseph Cordray's second published book. It is his follow-up to "Life in Double Time." Eric has been writing poetry for twenty years. He has thrown away thousands of poems over the years; he only keeps those he considers worth publishing.

Eric lives in the rural community of Ashley, Michigan. He was thirty-three at the time Dorrance Publishing first read the manuscript for "Fifth Column."

"Fifth Column" is Eric's attempt at reaching to the depths of his psyche all of the ugliness and beauty that surrounds him, and how they can often be masked as each other.

Eric has overcome chronic depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction to become a published poet.

"Fifth Column" is a 48-page paperback with a retail price of $11.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-3206-8. It was published by RoseDog Books, an imprint of Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
