Recent work appears in MungBeing, Otoliths, and First Literary Review-East. Katrinka is the author of Thief (BlazeVOX, 2009) and This is Not a Story, which won the New Women’s Voices Prize and was published by Finishing Line Press in 2003.

I have just delivered the anthology to Poets House for the annual showcase reading coming up on Thursday, June 27th.  Details to come . . .

I have already brought a few comp copies to the recent Cafe Dada reading.

I plan to see the people at BookCourt about selling the anthology copies and to schedule the annual anthology reading for either September or October.   Cost information to come for BookCourt and at the readings.

 

Stay tuned . . .
