HOT OFF THE PRESS! Via Edward Mycue
Here is the information page the publisher Jo-Anne Rosen prepared to which I added the SoundCloud item Hiram Larew made and that you could pass on to others who have access to the internet and might want to know and receive it. And also because you can still online read all the poems that continue to be free online”
I Am a Fact Not a Fiction: Selected Poems by Edward Mycue & Cover Art by Richard Steger
San Francisco poet Edward Mycue was born in Niagara Falls, New York, and raised in Texas from age eleven. He was a Lowell Fellow at Boston University Graduate School of Public Relations and Communications, a WGBH-TV Boston intern, a Macdowell Colony Fellow, a Peace Corps teacher in Ghana, editor at the Norton Coker Press
and he taught American Literature at the International Peoples College in Elsinore, Denmark. He has had 18 books or chapbooks published. His poems appear in multiple anthologies and journals. Am a Fact Not a Fiction is a selection of poems culled from three areas of interest: War and Peace, Life / Time Memory, and History--“The precision of Ed Mycue’s dreamscape is laser-sharp and as warm as chocolate. Images rush pell-mell across the page, jumbling and tossing each other aside as one supplants the other in a rush to break the barrier between words and meaning, perception and feeling.” — Laura Kennelly, Ph.D., Associate Editor, Bach: Journal of the Riemenschneider, Bach Institute
--“Ed Mycue’s poetry is a lifetime of surprises. He was born surprised, grew up on wonder, and now surely lives under the ever crashing waterfalls of amazement. His language is pure chirp, flip and rouse. It never ever sleeps. Savor his lines — like memory — for as long as you dare.” — Hiram Larew, author of More than Anything and Part Of

📚✨ The Collected Works Bookshop: Melbourne’s hidden treasure!

For years, writers from around Australia and across the globe made beelines to what some called 'heaven'; the Collected Works Bookshop on the first floor of the Nicholas Building.

The story of this unique shop, and its warm hosts Kris and Loretta Hemensley, is a tale of generosity, idealism and, above all, rock-solid team work spanning nearly four decades.
