things and notes

*You still have a couple more weeks to get the pre-order deal on ordering yourself a copy of SALVAGE--I promise all sorts of mermaidy and surreal goodness in these pages.  If you need persuading, you can see some sample poems here, and here, and here.   I will likely be hosting some sort of release party later in the summer, so stay tuned...

*Entropy magazine recently interviewed me about the press, both the logistics of publication and what we are looking for in potential work.  All useful information, as we have just opened up our summer submission period and are looking for goodies to publish in 2017.


*I am currently working on getting up our BALLYHOO: BEASTS,  BROADS, AND THE BIZARRE exhibit for Aesthetics, which features some of my GIRL SHOW poems (with pitch cards that will be in the vending machine!!), as well as a book art creation from Sina Evans, a "Peep Show" created by our student workers, and some of the Bookwrecking creations. Plus a hefty dose of our collection of carnival/sideshow books.

* I will be reading with two of my fellow BLP authors and very favorite poetry-people, Simone Muench and Daniela Olszewska, for the May incarnation of the Salon Series in the library on May 25th.  I don't know for sure if I will have copies of the new book in tow just yet, but you can pick up a copy of GIRL SHOW if you don't have one (and I may even sign it for you.)
