What a nice surprise today when Evening Street Press, the publisher of my chapbook Secret Rivers, shared this review from the blog Today’s Book of Poetry! Michael Dennis mentions a lot of things that I think were really central to this book, and which I hoped readers would pick up on. I’m beyond flattered and thrilled to be featured in this way.
His post even has video from a reading in Columbus this winter. I’m camera-shy and haven’t watched it myself but thought I’d point it out in case you’re curious and would like to put a face and an actual voice with the written voice you’ve “heard” here.
Many thanks to Michael for showcasing Secret Rivers and making my day!
Marilyn, it’s great to see Secret Rivers getting press: congratulations! And the video is delightful–I really enjoyed getting to hear your poems in your voice. The three new poems at the end are terrific, too. Brava!
Oh, thank you! Yes, I forgot about those three at the end. They’re from the chapbook that runner-upped one place and got rejected several other places. Maybe don’t give up on it yet? 🙂
