MORE ABOUT THE READERS

Carolyn Tipton's debut book of poems is The Poet of Poet Laval. She is also a noted translator from Spanish, and has translated two books of poems by Rafael Alberti. The first, To Painting, poems by Rafael Alberti, won the National Translation Award. It was a finalist for the PEN West Award in Literary Translation and was selected by Robert Hass for Poet's Choice, both a newspaper column and then an anthology from Ecco Press. Her second Alberti translation, Returnings: Poems of Love and Distance, won the Cliff Becker Translation Prize. Stephen Kessler says, "The musical language that drives these urgent poems is echoed exquisitely in Carolyn Tipton's translations." Her poems and translations have appeared in Partisan Review, Two Lines, Norton's World Poetry: An Anthology of Verse from Antiquity to Our Time, and elsewhere. Among her honors are fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts. Born and raised in Berkeley, she lives in Kensington, California.

Sandra Yannone's new book of poems is The Glass Studio. D'or Seifer says, "With crystalline imagery and sensitivity, The Glass Studio both marvels at and mourns the fragility and beauty of human resilience, with a sense of loss and longing braided into these textured and musical poems." Sandra Yannone's first collection, Boats for Women, was published in 2019. Widely published in such journals as Ploughshares, Prairie Schooner, and The Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide, her honors include the Academy of American Poets Prize and Associated Writing Programs (AWP) Intro Award as well as Pushcart and Best of the Net Award nominations. In March 2020, she co-founded and continues to host Cultivating Voices LIVE Poetry, an intergenerational, intersectional, and international Facebook poetry group and reading series. After living for two decades in the Pacific Northwest directing a college writing center, she now lives in her hometown of Old Saybrook, Connecticut.
