A trio of packages today, one from a bookseller, and two from publishers.
First opened was from Burke's Bookstore in Memphis, TN. I'd purchased a copy of Corey Mesler's latest poetry colletion, Before the Great Troubling (unbound CONTENT, 2011), and Corey was kind enough to inscribe it (nice when the author owns the store you buy the book from!).
2nd up was a package from Arcade Publishing which contained a hardcover review copy of Marjorie Sandor's new book, the late interiors: a life under construction. I've read two of Sandor's previous works--one a collection of essays and one a story collection--and enjoyed both and look forward to this non-fiction.
The last envelope was from Joe Taylor down at Livingston Press in Alabama. It contained Philip Cioffari's latest novel, Jesusville. I'm a fan of what Joe is doing with Livingston Press and I know this isn't the first Cioffari that he's published, which leads me to believe I'm going to enjoy it when I get a chance.
