Department of Congratulations

Congratulations to practicing writer Suchi Rudra Vasquez, whose new fiction collection, Kitaab, has been published by Six Gallery Press. Suchi writes that the book "was inspired by a year i spent living and volunteering in Bombay" and adds, given our recent blog discussion on prose poetry, that "people have called it poetic prose AND prose poetry, and I am also confused about genre, but very highly recommend Pessoa as well."

Congratulations to Jeffrey Vanke, with whom I embarked on the journey toward a Ph.D. in history. Jeff was a wonderful comrade along that road and his new book, Europeanism and European Union: Interests, Emotions, and Systemic Integration in the Early Economic Community, is now available.
==========
And congratulations as well to Lisa Romeo, whose simply beautiful and poignant essay, "43 Lies About My Child," has been named a winner of Masha Hamilton's 31 Hours Parents' Intuition Contest. Check back soon for some commentary from Lisa on the craft decisions that went into her winning piece.

OMG I loved Lisa Romeo's essay. My own child was just diagnosed with sensory integration issues (it's all new to me) so this hit home in a big way. Thanks for linking to it!
