Wompo Publishers Newspaper
News this week from Adanna, Monday Morning Book Blog, Fiddler Crab Review, just a mot, Finishing Line Press (back issues of the newspaper are archived at the Wompo festival of women's poetry here:
wompherence.proboards.com ).
1. A new print journal is about to enter the literary world. It's called Adanna, a name of Nigerian origin, pronounced a-DAN-a, and defined as “her father’s daughter.” As the name indicates, this journal is dedicated to women. Work appearing in the journal will in some way reflect women's issues and celebrate womanhood. However, it is not exclusive; men are welcome to contribute their thoughts about women today. As its bright red cover suggests, we hope for a lively, passionate journal.

Title: Another Word for Love
Author: Sarah Stern
Publisher: Finishing Line Press
Link to order: www.finishinglinepress.com/NewReleasesandForthcomingTitles.htm
Blurbs:
In Another Word for Love, Sarah Stern searches for meaning in a broken world. She delights in things around her, whether the El in New York or trees in New Hampshire, finding in them keys to her inner life. I read this book in the light of her clarity, exactitude, and fine intelligence.”
—Grace Schulman
“Sarah Stern is a serious poet whose subject is knowledge: how do we know what we know, about love, snowstorms, shooting stars, the zoo, appetite? In these lucid, disarming poems, full of gravitas, even the elm tells her its secrets, under its "cathedral of dappled light."
—Cynthia Zarin
"Vivid and opaque, innocent and sophisticated, Sarah Stern's poems in Another Word for Love are so full of life, never more than when they hint at death, that they refuse to sit still on the page. It's us she's catching in these glimmering nets."
—Karen Durbin
