The Habit of Rainy Nights Press
978-0-9746683-6-9 $12 US
“Brittney Corrigan’s poems are richly narrative, deeply engaging, and warm. And they always have been. Her poems spring from wonderful, mysterious, confounding, and haunting moments and memories, and carry you back into your own life with more vigor and understanding.”
-Naomi Shihab Nye
“‘My hands are full of small eggs, small flowers,/delicate hope. What of this is ordinary?’ writes Brittney Corrigan, and in her poems the answer is that the pulse of every day is made extraordinary as she chronicles the struggles and joys of family in a voice all too aware of a difficult world made all the more dear by our precarious place in it.”
-Maxine Scates
“In Brittney Corrigan’s poems dailiness is transfigured so that we are always seeming to meet the ordinary dramas of life in unexpected ways, and with the gift of unexpected insight. Her poems are full of “just the thing/you think you know/but you don’t”, brought to us in language that is at once welcoming and deeply meditative. If her work has a tutelary deity it is the god of small things, who is also, of course, the god of the biggest things. After reading these poems, we know they are one and the same.”

The Eye of the Moon
A Memoir by Shelley Davidow
ISBN 0-9746683-2-X
Retail Price $14
“Daring. Courageous. Brilliant. Beautiful. Scrupulously truthful. The Eye of the Moon is unlike anything I’ve ever read, and so astonishingly good I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.”
–Molly Gloss, author of The Jump-Off Creek, and Wild Life
“Shelley Davidow’s extraordinary, lyrical prose is dense with fragrance, eroticism, and the poetry of recalled passion. The short sections read like perfect snapshots of the past, holding a rhythm and deep sensuality reminiscent of French writers like Monique Wittig and Helene Sixous, whose work this memoir joins as a classic feminist tale–a gem of wisdom and beauty.
“In this important memoir, Davidow’s personal history lives alongside the unfolding, violent history of her homeland, South Africa. Her own particular coming-of-age story walks the steaming red earth of that land, even when it migrates to the frozen Midwest of the U.S.A., finally landing on a Pacific rim where peace, at least for the moment, seems possible.”
– Judith Barrington, author of Lifesaving and Writing the Memoir

Marginal Notes
A Poetry Chapbook by Jay Thiemeyer
Retail Price $8
“Illustrated with Jill Wilson’s gritty black and white photographs of the world of Portland’s homeless, Marginal Notes is an essential addition to the chronicle of this city. Jay Thiemeyer has made a journey few people can even imagine.”
–Barbara LaMorticella, Portland poet and co-host of KBOO’s “Talking Earth.”
“Marginal Notes is like a jackknifed truck coming at you with ten tons of steel. You won’t find a more raw observation of the streets than this. A clear view of the insanity that grips hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis in America.”
–Israel Bayer, organizer and writer, North American Street Newspaper Association.
