Gorgeous chapbook, Havoc, by the amazing Kristy Bowen of Dancing Girl Press. I love her, love Dancing Girl Press and adore the aesthetic artistically. Also, she'll publish my chapbook, Triste, this year! Also, as my friend Laura E. Davis (wonderful poet and editor of Weave) wrote on her blog, Bitch Magazine recently mentioned Dancing Girl Press, saying, "These slim, beautifully curated, and lovingly handmade editions by emerging women poets reflect a cross-section of the newest talent..."
Mary Stone Dockery, an amazing poet, is judging submissions over at Medulla Review. Check out Jennifer Hollie Bowle's work and her journal and press, Medulla Review. All amazing. Also, Mary Stone Dockery's chap will be out with Dancing Girl Press this year too. See her amazing work, Flightologies, at Everyday Other Things.
I've also been working hard on finishing the next few collections coming from Patasola Press, including J. A. Tyler's Comatose (which makes me basically cry thinking about how amazing it is — with crazy awesome cover design work by Alban Fischer) and Mimi Ferebee's gorgeous Seraglio. Cannot wait! This summer, we've got work by Kiely Sweatt coming too, with Origin of. How lucky I am to work with such talented people. And, just to brag because it's 2012, when I started Patasola Press in 2011 I had no idea how amazing the journey would be. Rae Bryant, Patasola Press's first author (The Indefinite State of Imaginary Morals) and my very talented friend who never, ever fails to amaze me (she's a talented and courageous writer, and intelligent woman and a very fine editor) was mentioned on BIG OTHER when her book was listed in the Best Short Story Collections. Yes!
Lastly, my newest poem, Rahway River, has been published on the beautiful THRUSH, edited by Helen Vitoria and Walter Bjorkman.
