  Dear New Poetry people, 

  I used to post here pretty often but have been lurking for a while now since I moved to Boston.  Anyway, I'd like to announce some great stuff from Carolina Wren Press.   

  Please distribute these assignments freely to other lists.  I will be grateful if someone can forward to Poetics, to which I no longer subscribe.   

  Three New Poetry Titles: William Pitt Root, Linda Pennisi, Evie Shockley.   
    
  Carolina Wren Press announces the publication of three new titles in our Poetry Series (formerly the Carolina Wren Press Chapbook Series) 
    
  #8 White Boots: New and Selected Poems of the West by William Pitt Root. Richard Jackson wrote: "For Root, the world is poem; for us, his is a world we need to enter." Paperback, perfectbound, 72pp. ISBN 0-932112-51-X. $12.95. 
    
  #9  Suddenly, Fruit by Linda Pennisi. Winner of the 2005 CWP Poetry contest. Contest judge William Pitt Root wrote: "This poet composes and performs with the luxurious patience only a marvelously ripened spirit can achieve." Paperback, perfectbound, 64pp. ISBN 0-932112-52-X, $12.95. 
    
  #10 a half-red sea by Evie Shockley. Harryette Mullen wrote: "Navigating against prevailing currents, these poems sail on eddy and backflow, taking inspiration from knots and twists of American history and culture." Paperpack, perfectbound, 96 pp. with fold-out of "a thousand words." ISBN 0-932112-53-6. $15.95. (Shockley will judge the 2007 CWP Poetry contest, deadline 12/1/06; full guidelines on our website.) 
    
  All titles can be ordered through the CWP website: www.carolinawrenpress.org.  Or your bookstore can order through Baker & Taylor and most other distributors. If you must use Amazon, they are available that way too. 
    
  A reading for those in the neighborhoood 
  Evie Shockley and Linda Pennisi will read from their new books of poetry at 8pm on Saturday, October 28th, 2006, in the Durham Arts Council's PSI Theater, 120 Morris Street, Durham, NC, 27701. This reading is free and will be followed by a reception and book-signing. Pennisi is the winner of the 2005 Carolina Wren Press Poetry Contest and Evie Shockley will judge this year's contest (i.e., 2007).
