A Great Summer

This has been a great summer for Sixteen Rivers authors.

Carolyn Miller had two poems selected for the Writer's Almanac on Public Radio International, one read on July 5 and one on July 6. Both poems are from her new book, Light, Moving, published earlier this year.

Margaret Kaufman's poem "Photo, Brownie Troop, St. Louis, 1949" was chosen by Ted Kooser to appear the week of July 13 on American Life in Poetry. It will also appear in her collection, Inheritance, to be published by Sixteen Rivers in 2010.

We are also pleased to announce that Margaret Kaufman (Snake at the Wrist, 2002) has won second prize in the Katherine Ann Porter Prize for Fiction from the 2009 Nimrod Literary Awards for her short story, “Life Saving Lessons.”
