Joe Amaral's first poetry collection, The Street Medic, won the 2018 Palooka Press Chapbook Contest. His writing has appeared in 3Elements Review, Anti-Heroin Chic, New Verse News, Poets Reading the News and The Night Heron Barks. Joe works 24-hour shifts as a paramedic on the California central coast. About, “Puff,” Joe writes, “My daughters and I like the cereal Puffins. We dream of visiting Iceland. I researched the bird more out of interest and saw the effect climate change is having on them, which spurred this poem.”
