 Rob Smith, reading from The Gravedigger (Gold Medal Winner, Faulkner-Wisdom Award)
The Gravedigger is a wry, soulful glimpse of how one good but lonely man's quiet existence is turned upside down by a late and unexpected love. Rob Magnuson Smith paints a funny, sad, gentle yet ferocious portrait of village life.

 Caitlin Scholl, reading from Makebelieve
Truly revolutionary and innovative, Caitlin Scholl's Makebelieve is a manifestation of a new era of poetry which is utterly fluent across genre, medium and discipline.... I predict the quilt of this book will unfold for a long time to come, and will affect our poetic territories in radical ways we have yet to imagine.
—Lee Ann Brown

 Ray Bianchi, reading from his translation of Sergio Medieros' Vegetal Sex
Nominated for the prestigious Jabuti Prize, famous Brazilian poet Sergio Medeiros appears in English for the first time from UNO press. In this translation by Bianchi, plant life and inanimate objects assume qualities of the erotic, are given the attentiveness of a lover or, perhaps more accurately, a voyeur lurking in shadow.
