Book Shelf: The Year of the Blue Water by Yanyi

The Year of the Blue Water by Yanyi

This is a Yale Series of Younger Poets book that I came across while pulling holds at the library. The title and cover caught my attention.

One of my favorite pieces from the collection:

“Form gives space for something to exist. You have to dig in yourself to find what you’ll put in it. Places you don’t know appear. Poems are a way to ask for what exists, to invite what wants to be visible.”

Latest News: Contact Form is Now Open

The time has arrived to re-open the Contact form for authors! The form will only be open long enough for about 20 authors to apply. This could happen within an hour or up to two days. At that time, the Contact form will close once again.

This is to avoid having a back log of wonderful authors who wish to be interviewed. The first time around the wait list was so long that by the time I reached a few authors they had already published another book and we had to adjust their answers to the questions.

If you have been interviewed on MTA in the past, please wait at least 1 year (and with a new book published), before reapplying.

In addition, I’m adding a spotlight or interview of top notch book bloggers once or twice per month. If you are a book blogger, and wish to be spotlighted, please complete the Book Blogger contact form.

Go here – Contact Form

Don’t miss out – Come on over!
