I have some news that it would be nice to announce to the department/college:<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Our own Maurya Simon wrote the introduction to the Black Goat Book -
Automechanic's Daughter by Karen Harryman which will be out this September
(2007)<br>
&nbsp;<br>
see: <a href="http://www.chrisabani.com/Black_Goat/Black_Goat.htm">http://www.chrisabani.com/Black_Goat/Black_Goat.htm</a><br>
&nbsp;<br>
Black Goat has also signed up UCR MFA student Gabriela Jauregi's book -
Controlled Decay - which is slated for publication in Spring 2008.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
