MORE ABOUT THE READERS
Lee Rossi's new book of poems is Say Anything. Gerald Fleming says, "Lee Rossi's previous books have been, in part, a progressive chronicle of his life, his dialectic with God, and our common joys & flawed humanity. This new book, Say Anything, takes it further, varying dictions—sometimes Bukowski-esque without the crassness, sometimes riffing on Christopher Smart, sometimes like Creeley in thin, taut lines, still other times in prose poems. Rossi continues his exploration of the self and its foibles inside a new progression—this time, a reckoning with mortality." The previous books mentioned above include Darwin's Garden, Wheelchair Samurai, and Ghost Diary. Born in Saint Louis, Missouri, he studied five years for the Roman Catholic priesthood before devoting himself, as he says, to the study of failure. Published in journals including Poetry Northwest, Harvard Review, Main Street Rag, and many others, he has also appeared in anthologies, including Don't Leave Hungry: 50 Years of Southern Review and Grand Passion: The Poetry of Los Angeles and Beyond. He's a Contributing Editor for Poetry Flash.
Lenore Weiss's new book of poetry is Video Game Pointers. Genero Ky Ly Smith says, "These poems form a beautiful blunt balance between nostalgia and a reconciliation, a reckoning of human struggles and our appreciation for nature, and our personal relationship with others." Her previous collections include Cutting Down the Last Tree in Easter Island and The Golem: Poems of Love, Loss, and Being Mortal. Her poems have been widely published in The American Poetry Journal, Portland Review, New Verse News, Spillwords, Tiger's Eye, and elsewhere. She's also recently published Pulp into Paper, about which Leslie Kirk Campbell says, "Pulp into Paper is an engaging, disturbing and sometimes humorous novel exposing a calcified network of corruption between a company (Rand-Atlantic) and the government (EPA) in a small Southern town where 'the stink [is] the smell of money.' Weiss's talent for detail is extraordinary as she takes us into the homes, sandwich shops and hydrogen-sulfide infested creeks of East Hentsbury with its unforgettable cast of characters."
