Parallel Press releases 'Apparition' by Max Garland
Posted 10/8/1999
MADISON, Wis.--The Parallel Press this fall published Apparition, a collection of poems from award-winning Wisconsin author Max Garland.
Parallel Press, created last fall, is an imprint of the University of Wisconsin General Library System. They specialize in soft-cover chapbooks, which are small-format, literary works. Apparition is the group's third book.
Garland's poems discuss childhood ideas of God and love and his adult experiences of pain and passion.
His poems and stories have appeared in collections such as Best American Short Stories, Poetry, and New England Review. Garland was recently awarded a fellowship from the Bush Foundation and has received other awards over the years, including the 1994 Juniper Prize for Poetry.
Originally from western Kentucky, Garland is now an English professor at UW-Eau Claire.
Parallel Press is also publishing two more books over the next few months:
- Sure Knowledge by Elizabeth Oness will be released in November. Her poems have appeared in magazines such as Georgia Review, Hudson Review, and Shenandoah. Oness has received numerous awards for her work, including an O. Henry Prize and a Nelson Algren Award. Oness lives in La Crosse, where she is co-editor of Soundpost Press and director of marketing and development for Sutton Hoo Press.
- Luck by Marilyn Annucci will be available in January 2000. Her poems have appeared in numerous publications, including Southern Poetry Review, The Journal, and Poet Lore. Annucci teaches language and literature at UW-Whitewater and lives in Madison.
