After losing her sister to heart failure, Karen Finneyfrock was
unable to write poems for three years. Her voice came back,
whispering at first, then screaming. Ceremony for the Choking Ghost
contains the sound of that voice returning, bringing poems about
grief and its effect on the body, the body politic, memory and, of
course, poems about love. From the intensely personal, How My
Family Grieved, to the political, What Lots Wife Would Have Said
(If She Wasnt a Pillar of Salt), Finneyfrock engages the reader
with the chiseled images of a precise storyteller.
An anthology of poems by powerful female authors, to inspire young
women 12-28, through thrilling and fearless poetry. Full of advice,
critique, reflection, commiseration, humor, sorrow and rage, this
anthology includes work by some of the most exciting female poets
writing and performing today.
Thirty-six of the most interesting writers in the Pacific Northwest
came together for a week-long marathon of writing live on stage.
The result? Hotel Angeline, a truly inventive novel that surprises
at every turn of the page. Something is amiss at the Hotel
Angeline, a rickety former mortuary perched atop Capitol Hill in
rain-soaked Seattle. Fourteen-year-old Alexis Austin is fixing the
plumbing, the tea, and all the problems of the world, it seems, in
her landlady mother's absence. The quirky tenants-a hilarious mix
of misfits and rabble-rousers from days gone by-rely on Alexis all
the more when they discover a plot to sell the Hotel. Can Alexis
save their home? Find her real father? Deal with her surrogate
dad's dicey past? Find true love? Perhaps only their feisty pet
crow, Habib, truly knows. Provoking interesting questions about the
creative process, this novel is by turns funny, scary, witty,
suspenseful, beautiful, thrilling, and unexpected. A
