JANE AUGUSTINE KEEPS BUSY!

Jane Augustine has recorded poetry segments from all three of her Marsh Hawk Press books this past August to be broadcast over KWMV, the new local radio station in the West Mountain Valley (hence the call letters) around Westcliffe, Colorado, where Jane has lived in the summer months for 44 years. You should be able to hear her by "streaming" through your computer. Go to www.KWMV any time after 1:05 Tuesday, September 16 and up to 1:00 p.m. the following Tuesday, September 23. Then click on "Words on the Wind" halfway down the page. Poet Mike Heller (member, Board of Directors of Marsh Hawk Press) also recorded poems which will eventually be aired. We'll keep the blog posted.

In 2009 the University Press of Florida will publish Jane's annotated edition of a late novel by the poet HG.D. titled The Mystery. She is currently editing the final manuscript.
