New from Slapering Hol Press
We kick off our fall readings with a celebration of the two books our Slapering Hol Press (SHP) published this year.
David
Tucker's Days When Nothing Happens is the 2003 SHP Chapbook
Competition winner and its poems are inspired by the poet's day job as
an assistant managing editor at the New Jersey Star Ledger as well
as by the “slow news of ordinary life” (love, family, dreams, weather,
death, his cats). Tucker's poems have appeared in many literary journals
and he won the 2003 Solo Poetry Prize and was runner-up for the 2004 Brittingham
Prize.
Brighde
Mullins's Water Stories reflects her Las Vegas youth
as well as her more recent East and West Coast life. One poem, “At the
Lake House,” was also included in The Best of the Best American Poetry,
1998, edited by Harold Bloom. She is a playwright whose work (including
Monkey in the Middle, Click, and Fire Eater) has been performed
in New York, London and San Francisco. Her honors include a Whiting Foundation
Award and an NEA Fellowship, and she has been a Briggs-Copeland Lecturer
at Harvard University.
All readings include a question & answer period and a reception with books by the author(s) for sale.
