Sybil’s Garage and Paper Cities Update February 14, 2008 – Posted in: Paper Cities, Sybil's Garage

Lots of things have been happening here at Senses Five Press, and I though I’d write a short blog post to keep you up to date. Firstly, Sybil’s Garage is nearing completion. I’ve finished the layout and have sent proofs to the authors. Tomorrow will be the end of the first round of proofing, then I’ll send out one last round of proofs before going to the printer. Since I have all the contracts signed I can now list the table of contents:

Poetry:
Elizabeth Barrette – “With Every Fine and Subtle Sense Perceive”
Amal El-Mohtar – “Orpheus”
Miranda Gaw – “Last Supper”
Aaron Leis – “Glass”
Pam McNew – “No Word for Goodbye”
Adrienne J. Odasso – “River Girl”
David M. Rheingold – “Macduff’s Lament”
Eilyahoo Talgam – “Look Away”

Fiction:
Samantha Henderson – “The Ballad of Delphinium Blue”
Vylar Kaftan – “The Girl Next Door”
Barbara Krasnoff – “All His Worldly Goods”
Caspian Gray – “Waiting for Spring”
Jason Erik Lundberg – “Wombat Fishbone”
Alex Dally MacFarlane – “Tattoos of the Sky, Tattoos of the Days”
Gary Moshimer – “Salesman”
Hazel Marcus Ong – “Roses”
Daniel A. Rabuzzi – “Last and First”
Veronica Schanoes – “Lost in the Supermarket”

Non-Fiction:
Dinner with Lauren McLaughlin, an Interview by Devin Poore
The Best-Dressed Man on the Court, a memoir by Mercurio D. Rivera

Also, I’m working on the cover with the fine editors of Sybil’s Garage. It has to be spectacular, so it’s been a lot of back and forth with them, getting ideas and suggestions.

As for Paper Cities, it’s at the printers right now. We were very excited to read Jeff VanderMeer’s positive review in Publishers Weekly, and I just found out that Library Journal will also be writing a review. Lots of other cool things in the works which I can’t speak about publicly yet, but can only intimate, wink, and nudge (say no more…)

So I hope this whets your appetite for what’s to come.
