Cringe along with Erin
An early, terrible sonnet of Erin's (scanned straight from her high school journal, with illustrations, no less!) has been selected for Cringe, an anthology from Random House edited by writer and Cringe Reading Series director Sarah Brown, who says of the book: "The more dramatic, embarrassing or excruciating the writing, the better. A good test to determine whether or not your material is Cringe-worthy: when you read it to yourself, do you physically cringe? Then for the love of god, it needs to be in this book. Seriously. You are going to be so glad you did this. Cheaper and better than therapy." Pre-order Cringe today (release date: August 26, 2008!).
Poems in Kentucky anthology
Five of Erin's poems have been published in New Growth, an anthology of emerging Kentucky writers published by the Jesse Stuart Foundation. This anthology includes fiction by Lauren Titus, Aimee Zaring, Mike Hampton and Matt Jaeger; poetry by Tammy Ramsey and Sherry Chandler; and nonfiction by Graham Shelby. Buy your copy today!
The One-Hit Wonders (2006)
The One-Hit Wonders (Snark Publishing, 2006) is a short collection of poems that explores the human condition through our relationship with rock & roll. At the heart of the book is the weight of time, as a cast of characters—including an epileptic, an invisible girl, Gram Parsons, a record store clerk, gladiators, groupies, guitarists and a one-hit wonder—search for ways to bridge the disconnect between experience and desire in both life and afterlife.
The One-Hit Wonders (2006) • $5.00
ISBN 1-933222-07-7
In the Louisville, Kentucky area, The One-Hit Wonders is available at Carmichael's Bookstores on Bardstown Road and Frankfort Avenue.
