New Book Publications!

By Carter Monroe: billy putrid works his way through school and other poems, by Thunder Sandwich Publishing and Waffle House Blues by  Fingerprint Press. 

Small Knots, Kelli Russell Agodon's first full collection of poetry, has been published by Cherry Grove Collections and is now available for purchase at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or your local bookseller. Press Releases:

“Agodon’s debut introduces us to the wild beating of apple-hearts and other songs of the body body--both blessed and betrayed. These are necessary, exacting poems that render me stunned and happily spent--grateful for the blossom and burst I find on each page.”—Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of "Miracle Fruit" (Tupelo Press)

 

“These delightful, accessible poems are unafraid of exploring some of life’s more perilous regions: motherhood, suicide, the death of parents and grandparents, a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment; as well as its more mundane: piñatas, lemons, hatbands--and always with clarity, humor, and an unflinching belief in the power of language if not to heal, to bring closure.”—Peter Pereira, author of "Saying the World" (Copper Canyon Press)

Ordering information: Small Knots: ISBN: 1-932339-27-2, softcover, 88 pages, $17.00.
