The 2014 Big Poetry Giveaway!!!

3/28/2014

It's Almost April! It's Spring! It's Almost  National Poetry Month! And it's the Big Poetry Giveaway 2014!

I am a Rust Belt writer who lives in northwestern Pennsylvania. Mainly a poet, I have recently started exploring the world of prose, both fiction and literary nonfiction.  I teach right across the state border at Jamestown Community College in Jamestown, New York.

I fell in love with the poetry of Erin Ganaway when I first read her work in Town Creek Poetry.  Take a look here and I am sure you will love her poems as much as I do!

Ganaway's first collection of poetry, The Waiting Girl, is a lyrical journey between two worlds: the land of the Appalachian South and the coast of Cape Cod. Deeply rooted in place, Ganaway's poetry explores the interconnections between what it means to be human in landscapes that both bind us and push us away.

Winner of the Texas Review Breakthrough Prize, The Waiting Girl will not disappoint! You can read more about Erin Ganaway's work and her collection on her website.

And now for my second poetry giveaway....it's a Chapbook Grab Bag! Yes, I will include a copy of Wearing Heels in the Rust Belt (Winner of Main Street Rag's 2011 Chapbook Contest), but I will also be including at least  nine other chapbooks, including collections by Karen Dietrich, Charles Jensen, Roy Seeger, and Joseph O. Legaspi. The winner will be guaranteed a wide range of voices and publishers!

Please leave your name and contact information below (such as an email). And if you want more information about the annual Big Poetry Giveaway, take a look at Kelli Russell Agodon's blog listed here!

I have your "Wearing Heels", which I like a lot. I'm not familiar with the others and appreciate learning their names.

I'm in! One thing I love about the giveaway, it's often the only time of year I'm in touch with so many writers I 'know'.

I would love to receive any book, even a chapbook. Chapbooks have a certain charm about them, they seem more intimate to me.
