We’re excited to announce that Renee Emerson’s book, Keeping Me Still, is a finalist for the 2014 Jacar Press Julie Suk Award! The award is given for the best poetry book published by an independent press. This exquisite collection–some of which we had the pleasure of hearing at the Lowell Reading last fall–is full of tender and unexpected glimpses into relationships between sisters, mother and daughter, and husband and wife.

Congratulations, Renee! We’re so proud of you and will be keeping our fingers crossed.
