New poetry collections from GR regulars now available!

I have to admit that I get excited by the mail that comes in to the offices of The Georgia Review each day -- I never know what it will bring, but it's always something interesting -- stacks of submissions in multiple genres, review copies of new or forthcoming books, publisher's catalogs, etc. Remember Steve Martin's movie "The Jerk" and the bit where his character yells "The new phone book is here! The new phone book is here!" I try not to yell, but at least some days that's how I feel too.

So the point is that this week's mail brought two new poetry collections of particular interest to all of us here and to regular GR readers: Kevin Clark's Self-Portrait With Expletives, published by Pleiades Press, and Richard Jackson's Resonance, officially out tomorrow from the Ashland Poetry Press. Clark and Jackson have published both poems and book reviews in GR, and we'd like to think the world is a better place for it.

Please help support the work of these fine writers by visiting the publishers' sites linked above and purchasing their books -- and, as always, you can enjoy these two authors and countless others by subscribing to The Georgia Review.
