Wompo Publishers Newspaper
News this week from Main Street Rag Publishing (back issues of the newspaper are archived at the Wompo festival of women's poetry here: wompherence.proboards.com ).
1. Suzanne Frischkorn's new book of poems, Girl on a Bridge, is scheduled for release March 1st and is available for advance order. The advantage of advance ordering is that you may buy it at a discount. The cover price will be $14, but by ordering it online from the publisher's website, you can get it for $9 plus shipping ($1 for one book, domestic).
The book can be ordered from the Coming Soon page of the MSR Online Bookstore. Here is a link that will take you directly there:
www.mainstreetrag.com/SFrischkorn_2.html. You can also preview a few of the poems.
For those who would rather not order online, Girl on a Bridge may also be ordered by check or credit card directly from the publisher; however, the discount is not as much if ordered this way ($12/book--domestic postage included). Send to: Main Street Rag, PO BOX 690100, Charlotte, NC 28227-7001. Credit card orders, call 704-573-2516 (M-F 9am-5pm EST).
Girl On A Bridge
poems by Suzanne Frischkorn
ISBN 13: 978-1-59948-226-2
~76 pages, $14 (cover price)
Advance Praise --
Suzanne Frischkorn is a fierce and fearless poet. In Girl on a Bridge, she first upends our dainty notions of girlhood and then leads us into the wilderness of violence, madness, fear, and love -- and does so with beauty and tenderness.
--Julianna Baggott, author of Lizzie Borden in Love, and Compulsions of Silkworms and Bees
Good citizens beware: Suzanne Frischkorn has let Girl on a Bridge, loose on the world and she’s spreading the word about the furies of femininity and the madness of motherhood with its “stone weight of home.” These poems burn holes on the fairy tale pages of domestic fantasy and uncover the treacherous (though more exciting) narratives of those women who dare stray from the path or, at the very least, who celebrate their desires: “What’s more flattering than being wanted by a mouth that waters?” This book of finely-crafted verse holds up its poetry like a lovely razor blade.
