Beyond the Rivers


Sixteen Rivers Press is thrilled to celebrate with Gerald Fleming as he awaits the publication of his next book of poetry. Night of Pure Breathing, a book of prose poems, will be published by Hanging Loose Press in spring of 2011. Congratulations, Gerald!
And here's a photo from last October when Gerald attended the inaugural reading for Kay Ryan's second term as the United States Poet Laurete. The evening reading was held in the Library of Congress and was followed by a reception under the magnificent rotunda dome. The following day, when this photo was taken, Kay held a small reception up in the Poetry Room of the Library of Congress. How wonderful to know that a Poetry Room exists high up in the rotunda, and how lovely to know that Kay Ryan is again our Poet Laureate.
