Facebook RSVP here! ••••••••••••••••• WILL HUBBARD grew up in North Carolina and lives in Brooklyn, New York. His first book is Cursivism (UDP 2011). “Cursivism contains some of the best blasts of short prose I've read in quite some time." —GRAHAM FOUST ••••••••••••••••• LAURA SOLOMON’s books include Bivouac (Slope Editions, 2002), Blue and Red Things (UDP, 2007), and The Hermit (UDP, 2011). “Laura Solomon’s poetry rescues love and language from the tendency to reduce either to single, knowable facts by finding missing dimensions of our awareness." —PAUL KILLEBREW ••••••••••••••••• MAUREEN THORSON is a poet, publisher, and book designer living in Washington, D.C. She is the author of a number of chapbooks, including Novelty Act (UDP 2004). Applies to Oranges is her first full-length book. “Maureen Thorson's first full-length book is a necessary satellite signal made of a uniquely singular ache and echo. She deftly performs a precise dissection of heartbreak's timeless ability to blow open the universe of our lives and allow our fascinating agonies to burst into being.” —ADA LIMON ••••••••••••••••• THANKS TO PIEROGI GALLERY!
