We congratulate poet and qarrtsiluni contributor Christina Pacosz for the selection of her chapbook, Notes from the Red Zone, as the inaugural volume in Seven Kitchens Press’s Rebound Series. Dave can vouch for the fact that Seven Kitchens — the baby of another qarrtsiluni contributor, Ron Mohring — does beautiful work, so we’re excited that Christina’s Notes will get what’s sure to be a spectacular makeover.
Notes from a Red Zone was nominated by David Chorlton, and the announcement post quotes from his letter:
The passage of twenty-five years has not diminished the relevance of [these] poems. As I have followed Christina Pacosz’s work, I have been impressed by her vision of the world, beset as it is by the problems she addresses. If poetry is to be returned to circulation after a time in the dark, let it be the poetry that exposes recurring concerns and shows determination to deal with them.
