A Best Seller!

Sixteen Rivers Press is excited to announce that The Place That Inhabits Us, an anthology of Bay Area watershed poems of place, is #1 on the SPD Bestseller List for April. Please take a look at http://www.spdbooks.org/pages/bestsellers/poetry/default.aspx

Great Reading!

The Place That Inhabits Us had its debut East Bay reading on April 22 at Mrs. Dalloway's Books on College Avenue. An all-star line-up of poets made this a fantastic night. Many thanks to Chana Bloch, Camille Dungy, Sandra Gilbert, Forrest Hamer, Joyce Jenkins, Alice Jones, Eliot Schain, Richard Silberg, and of course, to Mrs. Dalloway's for a wonderful night. Camille Dungy blogged about the event on her Poetry Foundation blog. You can read about it here: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2010/04/the-place-that-inhabits-me/. And here's a photo of Sandra Gilbert and Chana Bloch.
