Ballard writer Laurie Blauner still finding truth in her imagination
Laurie Blauner had a smile in her voice as much as on her face. She wanted to talk poetry—my poetry, her poetry—and prose and the combination of the two that her work has become. Her enthusiasm for literature—for words, characters, sounds, meaning—was as transparent and contagious as laughter. - from the Ballard News-Tribune Read the rest of the story here. What Books Press is happy to alert all to the fact that Judith Taylor and her book Sex Libris, one of our 2013 titles, are featured this week at Michelle Aldredge's essential poetry & arts blog, Gwarlingo. If you don't catch it this week, it will remain in the Gwarlingo archive, along with excerpts from many other fine poets.
Sex Libris, by What Books Press poet Judith Taylor, was mentioned as one of the ten best poetry books of the year by poet and critic Calvin Bedient. See his list here, and congratulations to Judith Taylor on this distinction - we are very proud to have published her fine poetry!
