The Best Creative Nonfiction (Vol. 3)
“Intelligent but accessible, and often poignant . . . [by] the biggest talents on the essay and blog beat.” —Publishers Weekly (on Vol. 2) Anyone still asking, “What is creative nonfiction?” will find the answer in this collection of artfully crafted, true stories. Selected by Lee Gutkind, the “godfather behind creative nonfiction,” and the staff of Creative Nonfiction, these stories—ranging from immersion journalism to intensely personal essays—illustrate the genre’s power and potential. Edwidge Danticat recalls her Uncle Moise’s love of a certain four-letter word and finds in his abandonment of the word near the end of his life the true meaning of exile. In “Literary Murder,” Julianna Baggott traces her roots as a novelist to her family’s “strange, desperate (sometimes conniving and glorious) past” and writes about her decision, in The Madam, to kill off a character based on her grandfather. And Sean Rowe explains why, if you must get arrested, Selma, Alabama, is the place to do it. This exciting and expansive array of works and voices is sure to impress and delight.

Ashes in Midair
Poetry. Winner of the 4th MMM Press Poetry Book Competition. "Few debut collections claim the confidence of Susan Settlemyre William's. With immense technical swagger and a nerviness that never overpowers her considerable empathy and elegiac tenderness, Williams investigates both the domestic and the strange. She is above all a spiritual writer, and-like the best such writers-understands that gnosis arrives as much through desecration as through piety. ASHES IN MIDAIR is a stirring, engrossing, and haunted book"-David Wojahn. Williams is also the author of the chapbook Possession (Finishing Line Press 2007). Her poetry has appeared in Mississippi Review, 42opus, Shenandoah, Sycamore Review, the Marlboro Review, and diode, among others. Her poem "Lighter" won the 2006 Diner poetry contest and was selected for Best New Poets 2006. She holds an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and is book review editor and associate editor of Blackbird.
Identity Papers
Poetry. Asian American Studies. In the aftermath of a random act of violence, Lee has "found it necessary to create new forms of language that were as visceral as they were lyrical, as brutal as they were intellectual"--from the Author's Preface. At once dramatist, poet, and storyteller, Lee explores the bewilderment of the modern world and consciousness. The poem's speaker is seriously hurt, yet passersby ignore him, and the police mistake him for the perpetrator. In this circumstance, Lee "shows what it means to assert ones identity, to live with and be close to others while remaining true to oneself--a heroic undertaking for any writer in this day"-Thaddeus Rutkowski. The title poem has been written and recorded as a full-length dramatic poem for two voices, yet the visual experience of the poem is a critical one.
