Qarrtsiluni contributor Howie Good’s sixth chapbook, Tomorrowland, has just been published by Achilles Chapbooks, and may be ordered here. Quoting from the press release:
The lead poem of the book, the 11-part “A Tiny Fugue for Tomorrowland,” has been nominated for a 2008 Pushcart Prize …
Jack Henry of deadbeatpress.com said Good is “one of those rare voices that can give you an explosion of life in a brevity of words. Evocative, witty, and always interesting… Good is a writer you will not want to miss.”
Poet Susan Culver, editor of the magazine Poetry Friends, said Tomorrowland “offers the essential element of prose poetry: tight, moving language and amazing imagery. With both the mastery of storytelling and the dance of poetry, Tomorrowland is a writer’s envy and a reader’s delight.”
In addition to the Pushcart Prize, Good has been twice nominated for the Best of the Net anthology, most recently in 2008 for the poem “Lovesick.”
Good has also published four books on public education, and he is a widely recognized scholar on media ethics. His book, Journalism Ethics Goes to the Movies (Rowman & Littlefield, 2008), is used in more than 50 college ethics courses around the world.
There are at least three great things about this chapbook: it’s by one of our favorite new (as of “Journaling the Apocalypse”) contributors; it consists entirely of prose poems — or flash fiction, if you prefer; and it’s only $5.00, including shipping. Dave has already ordered his own copy and we urge you to do the same. You can read a sample poem on the announcement page.
