Meet Scott Gloden, author of the short story collection The Great American Everything, which comes out from Hub City Press in spring 2023. His collection was selected by Kevin Wilson for the C. Michael Curtis Short Story Book Prize, who praised it as “an exceptional collection that introduces us to an exciting new voice.” We chatted about Scott's inspiration, what he's reading, and more.
Meet Marlanda Dekine (they/she), author of their full-length debut poetry collection Thresh & Hold. Marlanda is a poet obsessed with ancestry, memory, and the process of staying within one's own body. Their work manifests as books, audio projects, and workshops, leaving spells and incantations for others to follow for themselves. They are the winner of the 2021 New Southern Voices Poetry Prize. Their manuscript was selected as the winner of the prize by award-winning poet Gabrielle Calvocoressi. It will be published in March 2022.
As an independent press, we love to help support other small and indie presses who, like us, work in their community by providing a space and a voice for local readers and writers. In our new blog series, "Meet a Press," we thought we'd reach out to some of our friends in the local publishing business to get to know them a little bit better, see what they're up to, and share their work, and books, with you! Next up is Blair, located in Durham, North Carolina. Check out our interview with Lynn York!
