Poetry. Winner of the Michael Rubin Chapbook Award 2005. "Exploratory in form yet ultimately grounded in, and devoted to, everyday experience, Elise Ficarra's SWELTER seeks to rescue the lyric during the latest war's assault on our senses. But Ficarra does so without turning away (or exclusively to the self). This visually, linguistically, and thematically layered book opts for insinuation over direct statement, parataxis over smooth transition, and openness over closure--its surfaces are as striking as the messages within. Throughout Swelter, Ficarra unleashes words onto the page, putting both text and white space to work with skill and intensity"--Brian Henry.

Fiction. Anne-E. Wood's TWO IF BY SEA, is her first collections of short stories. "What will strike you first is the sheer energy and muscularity of Wood's prose. This is a book full of wounds, of damage, of mayhem, an unflinching look at the American family, past and present. But read these stories with as much slow care as they were written, and what you will take away-and what will remain a long time after you put this book down-are the very souls 9and hearts0 of her characters"-Peter Orner. TWO IF BY SEA is Winner of the 2006 Michael Rubin Chapbook Award. Wood is the Associate Artistic Director of Performing Arts Workshop in San Francisco, where she teaches Creative Writing and Theater.

Fiction. "EVERYTHING FACES ALL WAYS AT ONCE by Zulema Renee Summerfield takes fiction apart with the hammer of poetry, forcing her astonished readers to 'defy all expectation,' as she suggests in the title story. 'One minute they're sporting monocles...and the next they're drunk and rowdy and throwing patio furniture off the roof...but in this and all things, they seek the nature of truth.' Summerfield 'has a point and it's fixed like this...in space, but also it's shifting...to pierce right through your skeptical, unbelieving, tender human heart.' These shifts are seismic, always revelatory, and truly amazing"--Terese Svoboda.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. "In both the historical and popular imagination of outlaw culture, the pirate occupies a central place as a swashbuckling, rogue seafarer driven by banditry and greed for treasures. In our literature and movies, he comes to us as skull-laden, eye-patched with gaudy earrings, a curved sword, in a ruffled, puffed-sleeve shirt. 'Out of the marginal space between / ocean and sky,' 'out of the stack of history books,' Keely Hyslop rescues Pirate Anne Bonny as female warrior and instigator of this robust collection of poems. Like her muse, the speaker in these poems is ferocious, eccentric, wild, and uncontained. And yet, in these poems, one encounters a measured yet nourishing and questing intelligence in love with language and song. This is the book we've been waiting for featuring a woman not afraid of the adventures of the mind nor the open seas of the heart."—Major Jackson
