We have started a new site dedicated to Easy Edibles and have therefore moved the blog posts about vegetable gardening to easyedibles.com.
Here we give news of the doings of Alice Greene & Co., its authors and others associated in the development and marketing of our books.
Wow, what a crowd. The Literati Bookstore occupies two floors in the building on the corner of Washington and Fourth, in downtown Ann Arbor. It opened its doors to eager book buyers just a week ago. And Friday was the inaugural event.
They cleared the floor space in the basement and it was just as well. Almost half the room was seats, occupied long before the event started, and the rest was standing, and by the time the event started, it was full, and people were lined back up the stairs.
Bookstore co-owner Hilary Lowe introduced local poet Ray McDaniel, who also teaches at University of Michigan, who gave a good account of Keith. Keith introduced The Ancient Murrelet and the team who had produced the publication. His readings of a number of the poems were very well received and there was a long line afterwards to get a signed copy.
All in all, a great launch to The Ancient Murrelet, and the Literati Bookstore!
The new chapbook of poetry by Keith Taylor is back from the printer, and everybody agrees it looks fabulous. And you can see it too, when Keith gives the inaugural reading at the new!!! bookstore in Ann Arbor on April 5, 2013. The Literati Bookstore is at the corner of 4th and Washington downtown. We look forward to seeing you there!
All the t’s have been crossed, the i’s dotted, and the shading of the illustrations made “just so.” Colin O’Brien is completely responsible for getting to “just so,” even as it kept changing. Jill invited Melanie over for a color check of the cover, and The Ancient Murrelet is ready to go to press.
We are very pleased to announce that we have finalized plans with Keith Taylor, head of the Creative Writing program at University of Michigan, to publish his next book of poetry. This lovely collection reflects on both people and animals who travel through, and sometimes settle in, unfamiliar landscapes.
The February issue of the Ann Arbor Observer has an article by Keith Taylor about Alison Swan, her poetry and Dog Heart. Read the full text.
On her way to giving talks tomorrow (Tuesday, 7/19) in Fennville and Kalamazoo, Easy Edibles author Sheri Repucci will be appearing between 5 and 6pm today on “The One Seven” on Fox 17 (WXMI). If you live in the Grand Rapids area, be sure to watch!
Easy Edibles author Sheri Repucci started a new growing season last week with talks at three libraries in Michigan and Ohio. Sheri spoke about her background in gardening, her early start, the joys and challenges of different vegetables, including the importance of good soil and how to test and establish it. Each talk was very well received, and at each event almost half the attendees bought a signed copy of the book, with Alice Greene & Co. making a donation to a local organization of the library’s choosing.
Easy Edibles author Sheri Repucci will be at the “Writers on the River” event in Monroe County this weekend. I won’t be able to make it, but I hope that you will be able to join Sheri and 29 other authors at this year’s event, selling and signing their books in time for the holidays! More details here.
