With the advent of spring and new growth, CavanKerry has much to celebrate. Our press was awarded the 2015 Ambassador Award from the state of New Jersey and several of our authors have been recognized with awards and honors.
The AWP Conference in Minneapolis in April was a great success. Authors Dawn Potter, Loren Graham, and Brent Newsom joined me at the CavanKerry table to answer questions and sign copies of their books. It was wonderful to work with each of them as we talked to the many conference goers about submissions, our community outreach programs, and what it is like to be an author working with the people at CavanKerry. They were the yin to my yang, and as such we made many new friends and connections.
The last of our three Spring 2015 releases (Pam Bernard's Esther: A Novel in Verse) has been ushered into the hands of readers. If you haven’t already, visit our website to learn more and to purchase one of these books. Because there is no better way to enjoy the sounds and smells of the season than by immersing yourself in poetry.
