C. Hope Clark...

...the founder of FundsforWriters.com has reviewed The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Flash Fiction, edited by Tara L. Masih. "This book is worthy of a collegiate classroom, my friend," she says, and we could not agree more. Read the whole review here. Thanks, C. Hope!

Nik Korpon of the Outsider Writers Collective...

...has an enthusiastic review of Mary Hamilton's We Know What We Are up right here.

"There is such an immutable specificity to each adjective used, to each scene drawn; yet, at the same time, each is equally as dexterous, folding the connotation of the vignette numerous times until it is no longer a piece of tiny fiction, but a small paper lighthouse with 274 steps," he says. Thanks, Nik!

RMP is "definitely a press you want to keep track of..."

...says Dan Wickett over at the Emerging Writers Network where he gives a lovely write-up of We Know What We Are by Mary Hamilton. Thanks, Dan!

Jason Behrends...

...delivers an admiring mini-review of Mary Hamilton's We Know What We are over on the Chicago Subtext blog at the Chicago Now. See? Thanks, Jason, for the review, and for running the Orange Alert Reading Series where Mary will have her Official Chapbook Launch Party on Sunday, August 15th at the Whistler. Be there.

Bookslut likes the Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Prose Poetry

Anya Groner reviews it here.

"The joy of this tome comes from the lively debates that emerge between writers in love with the form and, more importantly, from the poetry itself which spans from comical to dark, elliptical to narrative," she says. Thanks, Anya!

Jim Cullen talks up the Field Guide...

...over on his blog in an insightful post about how "technological innovation [...] can revitalize older forms of artistic expression and give them a new lease on life." Check it out. Thanks, Jim.

The Field Guide in Profile

Kelly Spitzer just posted an admiring write-up of the Field Guide over on her Writers in Profile blog. "But I try not to define things that don’t have conclusive answers. I am what I am, and that’s a whole lot of things. What I do know is this—when I return to writing, I’m going straight to the Field Guide to work on some of the exercises within," she says. And then she lists some of her faves among said exercises including those by Tom Hazuka, Sherrie Flick, and Kim Chinquee.

You can see her whole list and read the whole write-up here. Thanks, Kelly!
