Shoutouts to Fellow Bennington 2001 Grad's Upcoming Books

Here's a review of John May's upcoming historical novel, Poe & Fanny (Algonquin). Based on fact, John's novel explores the romance between Edgar Allen Poe and Fanny Osgood in 1845.

Amy Gerstler's Ghost Girl (Penguin) comes out on April 6 (my 8 year wedding anniversary).

Recently released: Ricco Villanueva Siasoco has a piece in the anthology Screaming Monkeys: Critiques of Asian American Images (Coffee House Press). Kristin Olson's Stalking the Divine: Contemplating Faith With the Poor Clares (Hyperion) came out this summer to many positive reviews -- even one by Rush Limbaugh, much to Kristin's left-leaning chagrin. Misha Angrist's dope short story "So Much the Better" appears in Best New American Voices 2004 (Harvest).
