I'm in the home stretch with my revisions, but I just had to take a minute out to post all this great news.

  • Maythee Rojas has published her first book, Women of Color and Feminism. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but the very very discerning Rigoberto Gonzalez gives it a thumbs up and his students agree.
  • Dwayne Betts took home an NAACP Image Award for his memoir, A Question of Freedom. And can we address the gorgeousness of the cover of his new poetry release?!?!
  • Cherene Sherrard-Johnson has won the New Women's Voices Poetry Prize for her chapbook, Mistress, Reclining. (Finishing Line Press has the most chaotic crazy-making website ever, but click down to find Cherene's book to pre-order.)
