updates

We are pleased to announce that Kelly Cherry has named Peter Filkins's collection, Augustine's Vision, the winner in our summer 2009 chapbook contest. It is now available.

Our annual full-length fiction contest, to be judged by Lee K. Abbott, is now closed. Readers will soon forward finalists to Mr. Abbott for review.

Thomas E. Kennedy's new novel, In the Company of Angels, was released by Bloomsbury in March 2010, but we thought it only fair that you take a look at his new novel-in-essays published by New American Press called (with thanks to Steve Davenport) Last Night My Bed a Boat of Whiskey Going Down.
