1. B. Morrison, Monday Morning Book Blog
www.bmorrison.com/blog/
- The Lost Prince, by Selden Edwards
2. Lynn Domina has posted two new reviews to her blog, A Review A Week, of When My Brother Was an Aztec by Natalie Diaz, and A God in the House: Poets Talk About Faith edited by Ilya Kaminsky and Katherine Towler.
3. Beltway Poetry Quarterly announces a new issue devoted to Prose Poems. For the Fall 2013 issue, guest editor Abigail Beckel has selected prose poems by 30 poets from the Mid-Atlantic, an extraordinary grouping that brings out the best of this hybrid form with, as she writes, "its shameless, joyful borrowing of craft and conceits from other types of poetry, other genres, even everyday language encounters like letters, emails, conversations, lists, and questionnaires." She continues, "I like writing with a mind of its own and a flare for the unorthodox and unconventional. I am a fan of weirdness that works on an emotional level." We couldn't agree more!
Featured poets include: Paulette Beete, Nancy Naomi Carlson, Grace Cavalieri, Christina Daub, Barbara Westwood Diehl, Barbara Goldberg, Reb Livingston, Lalita Noronha, Elizabeth Poliner, Jane Satterfield, Diamond J. Sharp, and Stacia Cyrene Yearwood.
Don't miss Beckel's terrific introduction, which gives a definition of the prose poem and articulates--more clearly than we've ever seen before--the difference between flash fiction and prose poems.
Beltway Poetry Quarterly is available for free online: www.beltwaypoetry.com
