UPCOMING READINGS AND EVENTS

 

SAVE THE DATE! for the launch party for Mend & Hone at Poets House, Sunday, Oct. 6 at 2 p.m.

Sarah Suzor will be teaching at the 5th Annual Left Bank Writers Retreat, June 16-21. She writes: “If you’re interested, we still have a couple spots open, but they will fill fast.” For details, visit http://www.leftbankwritersworkshop.com/.

. . .

At our Poets House gathering on November 17, we said a joyful hello to Embark, our 2012 book, and a reluctant farewell to Meredith Trede as she stepped down from her Publisher and Executive Editor posts. Meredith is one of Toadlily’s four founding editors, and a wonderful friend. We promised to be disciplined about those trailing inquiries—”just one more quick question, can we talk about this poem?…this grant source?…this review?…”—but we know it won’t be easy.

Embark (Toadlily Press 2012)

The authors of EMBARK, our 2012 QUARTET SERIES volume, are:

David Morse, Storrs, CT
Sierra Nelson, Seattle, WA
Eleanor Paynter, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Emily Stokes, Sellersville, PA

2012 COVER ART

PRAISE FOR THE QUARTET SERIES
