Word Magic
Selected Poems From 2010-2016
By James P. Wagner (Ishwa) 

James P. Wagner (Ishwa) has edited more poetry anthologies than possibly anyone in the world. But in this deeply personal connection, he presents his selected collected works from 5 previous books, as well as a selection of new and anthologized poems, all organized to coincide with his 40th birthday. 

If you have been someone who has long enjoyed his work, or ever been a part of the thousands who have been in his anthologies and never got to deeply dive into his poetry but wanted to, this collection is a perfect fit. 

"I've been working on this book for close to 5 years. It is the culmination of over 16 years worth of writing, presented in the way I want it to be, and I am eagerly looking forward to sharing it."

~ James P. Wagner (Ishwa)
