VISIT US AT THE MARSH HAWK PRESS BOOK TABLE AT AWP!
Steve Fellner won our 2006 contest for his manuscript, Blind Date With Cavafy. It will be published with our spring titles in April. But if you're going to be AWP at the end of this month you're invited to visit him and some of the Marsh Hawk editors at our table at the book fair, as well as have him autograph an advance copy of the book. Here's a recent note from Steve:
This year's contest will be judged by David Shapiro. For comments by our annual contest winners, go to www.marshhawkpress.org/PreviousWinners.htm

Here's a recent note from Steve:
"I had been trying to get my book of poems out for eight years. I gave up a number of times during the process. Everyone hears stories about how contests are fixed or rigged or you can only win if you have the right connections. When Marsh Hawk contacted me that I had won, I couldn't believe it. I felt vindicated that you could win a contest without having any connections—without knowing the judge or any of the people associated with the press—that there were places out there that read them blindly and made good on their word. I cannot believe how great my experience was with Marsh Hawk Press. They responded to any email right away. They were open to all of my suggestions. The cover designer did a brilliant job, and was more than willing to take any of my suggestions, which of course, was a moot point—she created something spectacular immediately. When your first book is being created, you want to know that someone cares. Marsh Hawk Press made me feel my book was loved with their abundance of thoughtful attention. I could not have asked for a better experience."
This year's contest will be judged by David Shapiro. For comments by our annual contest winners, go to www.marshhawkpress.org/PreviousWinners.htm

The final special thing that I noticed is not about Ratner’s text but about Marsh Hawk Press. Something special is happening there. I’ve read a number of their books over the past year, many through the auspices of reviewing here at Galatea Resurrects. They have gathered a highly creative and talented group of authors and are putting out beautiful and interesting and provocative books. Huzzah, huzzah!
