One of 2008's Top Ten

End of the year best-of lists don't usually focus on poetry, but there are a few and Sixteen Rivers is proud to announce that Dan Bellm's newest book, Practice, is listed on the Virginia Quarterly Review's Top 10 Poetry Books of 2008 list. We here at Sixteen Rivers know this is a fantastic book, and it is great to see others recognizing this as well. Check out the list at this link:

Dan has also had one of his poems entitled "The Crossing" from his Practice (Sixteen Rivers Press, 2008) selected for Best Gay Poetry of 2008 edited by Lawrence Schimmel and published by Midsummer Night's Press. Congratulations, Dan, on this well-deserved recognition.
