Kathleen Kirk <\/strong>(“The Solace of Reading: How to Survive Hormonal and Spiritual Upheavals of Midlife,” “Postoponing a Response to the Fact of Mortality” and “The Heartbreak House”) has a new chapbook! \u00a0It is called “Nocturnes”<\/strong> and is hot off the presses of Hyacinth Girl Press<\/a>. \u00a0The stunning red and white cover is by Nashay Antoinette Jones<\/strong>. \u00a0I am looking forward to buying a copy from Margaret Bashaar<\/strong>, who just so \u00a0happens to be our tablemate at the AWP.<\/p>\n

Donna Hilbert<\/strong> (“Flowers” and “In Quintana Roo”) has a second edition of her book,\u00a0The Green Season<\/strong>, <\/em> by World Parade Books<\/a>. \u00a0About the book, Denise Duhamel wrote: \u00a0“Though Hilbert grapples with weighty and difficult subjects, her tone is refreshingly anti-maudlin. Precise details of Southern California– including movies–so infuse the spirit of these poems that in every one is a spark of light and even joy.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Constantine McConnell<\/strong> (“Alleys”) has had two more installments of his memoir published. “Good Friday” appeared in the latest issue of Crack the Spine<\/a>, <\/em>and “The Shot Heard Round Detroit” appeared \u00a0in The Boiler Journal<\/a>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Arthurs Powers <\/strong>(“Jardim Zoological”) has two stories in a new anthology called Being Human: Call of the Wild<\/em><\/strong>, which was just published by Editions Bibliotekos<\/a>. \u00a0 Arthur says that it is an excellent collection of stories dealing with the relationship between humans and the natural world.<\/p>\n

I have a poem “August 1999: Light is a Measure of Time” in the latest issue of Hip Mama Magazine<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
