Of Whiskey & Winter

Poetry. Prose Poetry. "Peter Conners' first prose poetry collection, OF WHISKEY AND WINTER, joins the list of a few first books of prose poems (most notably Mary Kincel, David Shumate, and Lesle Lewis) that read like a selected or greatest hits"--Peter Johnson, from his Introduction. "Peter Conners' stunning prose poems are packed with keen sensistivity, dreaminess, and wit. I love his time travels, the vibrant layering of image and detail. Try taking walks as you are reading this book-the dazzle of landscapes, inner and outer, feel replenished and rich. This is language and vision I want to come home to again and again"-Naomi Shihab Nye. Poems from the collection have appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies. One section of the book was published as the chapbook, The Names of Winter (FootHills Publishing, 2005).

Peter Conners is founding co-editor of Double Room: A Journal of Prose Poetry &Flash Fiction. He also edited PP/FF: An Anthology which was published by Starcherone Books in 2006. He works as Editor and oversees marketing for BOA Editions.
