October 16-17: Writers Association of Northern Appalachia Conference in Wheeling

I very much look forward to being part of this weekend's WANA conference in Wheeling, West Virginia. They have a wonderful array of presenters lined up, including a celebration of Bottom Dog Press and Larry Smith and a keynote by Amy Jo Burns. There's still time to register at writersassociationofnorthernappalachia.org.

Jennifer Browne and I will present “[Re/De]construct/ion: Finding the Charge in Revisions,” an interactive generative workshop designed to help writers see revision in a new way. As she describes it, "Through creative prompts that encourage rearrangement, removal, and variation, participants will explore how revision can uncover fresh energy and meaning within a poem. Writers will have opportunities to experiment with multiple approaches to revision and share their work during the session."

Crisis Chronicles Press This Fall

We may not have published a new title in two years, but we've remained busy behind the scenes with a couple of highly anticipated and long-awaited projects still in the works (more on those later). But Crisis Chronicles Press is delighted to be coming out of the closet, literally, to take part in three wonderful book fairs this fall and we'd love to see you at all of them.
