Unexplained Fevers Goes to Ireland – Book Announcement for 2013!!

I am grateful and happy to announce that Unexplained Fevers, my third book, will be coming out in the Spring of 2013 from New Binary Press, a wonderful new press from Ireland with an anthology coming out at the end of the year! The book will be distributed overseas and over here – my first International escapade! And there will (hopefully) be a wonderful book party and you will all be invited!

Here are two blurbs about the book: 
Unexplained Fevers plucks the familiar fairy tale heroines and drops them into alternate landscapes. Unlocking them from the old stories is a way to “rescue the other half of [their] souls.” And so Sleeping Beauty arrives at the emergency room, Red Riding Hood reaches the car dealership, and Rapunzel goes wandering in the desert - their journeys, re-imagined in this inventive collection of poems, produce other dangers, betrayals and nightmares, but also bring forth great surprise and wonder.
- Rigoberto González, author of Black Blossoms

Unexplained Fevers begins with that most familiar of phrases, “Once upon a time,” but the world we find inside these covers is deeply defamiliarized. Trapped by physical ills, cultural expectations, and the constraints of marriage, these heroines interrogate the world and propel themselves through it with cunning and sass. We follow, for example, Jack and Jill though a prose poem where they “somehow turned thirty without thunderous applause,” after having sworn they “would follow each other anywhere, but anywhere turned out to be a lot like Ohio.” At the center of these poems - urgent, mysterious, evocative - we find the great topic of all fairy tales, transformation. Read Unexplained Fevers, and be transformed.
- Beth Ann Fennelly, author of Unmentionables
