Our 2007 Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry runner up, Craig Arnold, is rolling into Lincoln today. The manuscript he sent, Made Flesh (you can read excerpts here), got picked up by Ausable Press (now part of Copper Canyon, where you can order a copy).
Before I go any further, I should mention that the man has his own Wikipedia entry.
He'll be reading in the Bailey Library, just across the hall from our offices in Andrews Hall, at 7:30 pm. If you're in town--or can make it in time--stop by. As always, we bring you these cultural highlights free for all comers.
These post become the hope
where thousands like me
who have forgotten to play
bitter--sweet games of life
can all happily rope
now lost in words and rhymes.
thank you prairie
for you make me further see.
