Her work was published recently in the collection Charles Deering Forecasts the Weather & Other Poems (Solution Hole Press), and in The Blue Hour and in the art book Pillow Talk. She was the inaugural Poet-in-Residence at the Deering Estate’s Artist Village in Miami. Previous collaborations have been displayed as illustrated broadsides at the SoBay Art Festival, as a video in Complement/Art Basel, and in a performance piece at the 8th Annual Boneyard Arts Festival in Champaign, Illinois.
Catherine Esposito Prescott
Catherine Esposito Prescott first poetry collection, The Living Ruin (Finishing Line Press, $12.00 ), explores the emotional terrain of motherhood. “Whether writing of an ordinary sea-side lunch or devastating loss, [Prescott] honors the wild, boundless heart of motherhood with precision and love.”-- Ana Menéndez.
Terri Witek
Terri Witek’s Exit Island (Orchises Press, $14.95) is a poetry collection that turns language on our ear. “Hold on, dear reader. This is a book like no other, a swirling microcosm of the tragic and playful, of betrayal and deep and abiding love.” —Barbara Hamby. Witek is the author of three previous collections of poetry and a critical book on Robert Lowell.
