New Allan Peterson chapbook, Omnivore
Allan Peterson’s new collection, Omnivore, won the Bateau Press Boom Chapbook Contest earlier this year, and is now available for ordering. We wish we could tell you more about it, but the folks at Bateau Press seem less interested in promoting their publications than in touting their “green” credentials, which are indeed pretty amazing (their publications are Forest Stewardship...
Howie Good's first full-length collection,...
Qarrtsiluni contributor Howie Good, a prolific chapbook author, now finally has a full-length collection of poetry. Lovesick was published in August by Press Americana’s Poetry Press imprint, and is available at Amazon and other retailers. The title poem may be read online at right hand pointing. It begins:
It isn’t love if our embassy isn’t burning, if the windows haven’t exploded ...
Cerise Press: a new online journal edited by...
Greta Aart (aka Fiona Sze-Lorrain) and Sally Molini are two of the three co-editors, with Karen Rigby, for Cerise Press, a promising new online journal based in the US and France, with a special focus on French and Francophone works. Four of Greta and Sally’s collaborative poems were included in qarrtsiluni’s Mutating the Signature issue.
The first issue of Cerise Press contains...
Wendy Vardaman's "Obstructed View"
As mentioned in today’s post, qarrtsiluni contributor Wendy Vardaman’s first book was just published this summer by Fireweed Press. It’s temporarily out-of-stock at Amazon, but you can order copies directly from the author. See her website for details, including a selection of poems from the book.
Wendy Vardaman’s extraordinary collection of poems is a triumph of literary...
Richard Garcia chapbook "Chickenhead" available...
Qarrtsiluni contributor Richard Garcia’s new chapbook, Chickenhead, was recently released by Foothills Publishing. This is a 36-page, hand-stitched production, and may be ordered from the website at the foregoing link. Its prose poems depict “a land where reality is pliable and facts of the imagination reign supreme, where Sappho morphs into Dale Evans, a dog becomes a psychiatrist and...
Qarrtsiluni chapbook now on Amazon
A Walk Through the Memory Palace is now on Amazon.com. It retails for $5.95, and qualifies for free shipping if bundled with orders of other Amazon stuff exceeding $35. But as we note on our “In Print” page, an order through our E-store provides a greater share of the royalties to qarrtsiluni; an order through Amazon.com has favorable shipping rates to non-US addresses. One way or the...
New Twitter account for daily post links
Our first experiment with “crowd-sourcing” a dilemma today was pretty successful. On both Twitter and Identica, we posted this:
Other magazines (and some bloggers) use Twitter and Identica to share links to every new post. Should qarrtsiluni do the same?
and then just to get people riled up, we added:
Our position is that people need to learn how to use a feed reader, for crying...
A Walk Through the Memory Palace published in dual...
Qarrtsiluni’s first chapbook is out! Read all about it at the official announcement post.
We’re very pleased to announce the publication of the first-place winner of our 2009 poetry chapbook contest, A Walk through the Memory Palace, by Pamela Johnson Parker, in dual print and electronic versions.
The print edition, published in collaboration with Phoenicia Publishing in Montreal, is 28...
Qarrtsiluni's new look: more than a facelift
Qarrtsiluni just got a makeover. The new design, which is based on the iNove theme from Chinese blogger mg12 at NeoEase, is quite a bit wider than the old one was, allowing us to carry longer-lined poems (such as Jeneva Stone’s “Montana Sky” or M. V. Montgomery’s “My Lady Copia”) without the lines wrapping. We can also publish wider photos, too, though we are...
Pacosz chapbook gets ReBound
News from the Red Zone, a poetry chapbook by regular qarrtsiluni contributor Christina Pacosz, was originally published in 1983 by Seal Press and, typically for a chapbook (or any book these days), soon went out of print. Now it has been reissued in a brand new edition from the wonderful Seven Kitchens Press, the first in its new ReBound series. Read all about it on the Seven Kitchens’...
Qarrtsiluni's new daily podcast
We’ve relaunched our hiatus-prone podcast as a daily feature — basically, a sexed-up version of the audio clips we were posting already. iTunes responded much more quickly than it had in the past, so that was a relief: the podcast is here. For more on our thinking behind the switch, see the announcement post on the site.
