First, we've been working to make Solace in So Many Words a good choice for book clubs. To that end, we have added a new page on our website.  It's a drop down link under Solace in So Many Words, and it is a comprehensive list of discussion questions for every entry in the anthology.  You can check out the questions directly here. Some of the questions were suggested by contributors, some were written by Yana Passater, and some were written by Laura Briskman, who then … [Read more...]

Dave Bonta “Ode to Scythes”

10/16/2012 By Ellen Beals 2 Comments

I met Dave Bonta at the AWP Conference in March.  He was working the Motion Poems booth, which was next to my table.  We swapped books and talked a little poetry.  We became FB friends, and I got to learn more about him through his posts, most of which are about Via Negativa, a site I encourage you to investigate.  Dave describes it as a “personal web log with delusions of grandeur,” and also as a “mélange” in which he posts poems, photos, essays and videos, the occasional … [Read more...]

I can't always keep up with Kathleen Kirk's publications because there seem to be so many (YAY!).  Here are her latest placements. She has two poems, "Blackberry Moon" and "Cusp," in Eclectica. Lines from "Cusp" that made me think:  "just as the word 'cusp'
/ refers to either point on the crescent moon,
/ neither of which is really there, both created by
/ the shadow of the earth, the reflection of the sun." Kathleen's poem "The Towns" appears in the museum of americana. … [Read more...]

T. C. Boyle's fourteenth novel was published in September by Viking. It is called San Miguel and on his blog, the author describes it this way:  “It is set on the island of the same name, the most northern and westerly of the California Channel Islands, and the story it tells derives from my research into the ecology and history of the region for my previous novel, When the Killing’s Done. . . . This is my first book-length narrative in the conventional realist mode, sans … [Read more...]
