SPRING 2016 BOOK LAUNCH--EIGHT BOOKS!

Marsh Hawk Press


Winner of the 2015 Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize
TANA JEAN WELCH:
lATEST VOLCANO
A book of ruthless poise, Latest Volcanomasters form and forms-pantoum, sestina, terza rima, narrative, elegy-well-suited to its wily protagonist, Eros. A canny figure, unabashed by war or fidelity, in league with cruelty and memory, Eros, somewhat at the expense of the poet, evolves a wild, patient, don't-mess-with-me self-knowledge. "Stay still and love/fades..." she says; but you, are you to move on? Loop back? Dance for your life? Well, all of those.-Stephanie Strickland

Claudia Carlson, poet, photographer and designer of more than fifty Marsh Hawk Press titles, passed away this January.

You are invited to attend this memorial offered by her family and friends to celebrate her life and talent.

Come share stories & memories.
Poetry - Chocolate - Laughter - Hugs - Spring Refreshments - Love


Before she passed, Claudia completed her third and final collection of poetry, My Chocolate Sarcophagus. 

Of this book Mary Mackey writes: "The twenty-three poems in Claudia Carlson's My Chocolate Sarcophagus combine raw courage and absolute beauty. Powerful, poignant, ecstatically lyrical, and beautifully crafted, they present us with an unflinching contemplation of mortality that never descends into sentimentality. In these poems, Carlson brings us an important message from the edge of life."
