Twenty-five Cent Stories

Today Tupelo Press announced their 2010 Dorset Prize winner and I am happy to see that the ever-unstoppable Rusty Morrison and her manuscript, After Urgency, are named. Rusty Morrison and I competed for the Northern California Book Award in Poetry last year (I stood no chance!) and shared the stage at WordTemple later on. But really, I am more happy to see that my old cohort at Arizona State University Todd Fredson received an honorable mention for his manuscript, The Crucifex-Blocks. What joy to end the month!

Rusty Morrison and I will be reading for the WordTemple Reading Series in Santa Rosa, hosted by Katherine Hastings.

Rusty Morrison is the co-founder of Omnidawn Publishing and her second book, The True Keeps Calm Biding its Story, was last year’s Jame Laughlin winner and took this year’s Northern California Book Award in Poetry (knocking me and four others out! ; p )
