Two new books slated for spring 2019 release

Icarus

First is Icarus: Anthropology of Addiction, a chapbook by Sylvia Cavanaugh. The poems take readers on a poetic sojourn through the effect addiction can have on a family.

Earth to Sky

Next in line is Stitching Earth to Sky, a full-length book by The PaperBirch Poets, a group of nine women, mostly Wisconsin writers. These poets consider life through a variety of lenses and help us understand nature, history, love, and family.

From Everywhere a Little: A Migration Anthology

Migration Anthology

We’re thrilled to present From Everywhere a Little: A Migration Anthology, a collaborative effort from editors Dawn Hogue and Lisa Vihos. The book began as an idea at a 100 Thousand Poets for Change event in Sheboygan, WI, September 2018. According to Vihos, “People of all ages shared original poems at the event. Throughout the open mic reading, I kept saying, We have to make a book of these poems. And I’ve learned if you say something enough, it will happen.”

Vihos’s vision is fully realized in this 96 page collection of poems from award-winning poets across the U.S. and beyond. About this book, Wisconsin’s newest poet laureate Margaret Rozga said, “At home or driven from home. Doors opening or shut fast. Migrants, immigrants, refugees. People moving and being moved. The poems in From Everywhere A Little: A Migration Anthology touch on all that. They will touch and move you, too.”
