6. Minnie Bruce Pratt's Crime Against Nature
Reissued as First "Sapphic Classic"
from A Midsummer Night's Press & Sinister Wisdom
A Midsummer Night's Press and Sinister Wisdom are pleased to announce the reissue of Minnie Bruce Pratt's Crime Against Nature in a new edition with an introduction by Julie R. Enszer, a new afterword by Pratt, a reprint of Pratt's speech at the Lamont award ceremony, photographs of Pratt and her family, and a bibliography.
Crime Against Nature was the 1989 Lamont Poetry Selection from the Academy of American Poets, which recognizes a poet's second collection of poetry, and has been long out of print, until now.
Enszer, co-editor of Sinister Wisdom, noted, "It is an extraordinary privilege for Sinister Wisdom to inaugurate this series with Minnie Bruce Pratt's timeless and important collection of poetry. A new generation of readers can now enjoy these urgent poems."
Crime Against Nature is the first title in the Sapphic Classics Series, reprint edition of iconic works of lesbian poetry, co-published by A Midsummer Night's Press and Sinister Wisdom. Lawrence Schimel, publisher of A Midsummer Night's Press, said, "This is independent publishing at its best: collaborative, creative, and compelling, making sure that important and necessary voices get heard."
