Call for Manuscripts
The Habit of Rainy Nights Press is putting out a call for manuscripts. We are looking at one or two projects for 2008. If you have a full-length book of literary-quality fiction, creative non-fiction, or social / cultural criticism, we may be interested in reviewing it. We are not accepting poetry at this time.
Please see our guidelines.

Coming Events
Poetry from the Streets on the last Friday. 6:30pm at Friendly House, NW 26th & Thurman. CANCELLED!
Jane Glazer will be reading from her recently published memoir, “Cornsilk, Growing Up Green,” on Thursday, April 19th at 7 PM in the new LOOKING GLASS BOOKSTORE location. Karen Anna has moved from her old location on S.W. Taylor St. to a charming new space,(red caboose, waterfall garden, fireplace room, the works!) at 7983 S.E. 13th St. in Sellwood. Just circle along the bluff on S.E. 13th St., across from the library and next to the Grand Central Bakery. Cozy and welcoming. Jane’s first venture into prose from her usual poetry.

The Eye of the Moon review copies to be available
We will have a few review copies of The Eye of the Moon available in late May. We can’t afford to run off very many of these, but if you seriously want to do a review, and have a publication in mind, we would love to send you one. Just let us know.
Judith Barrington says if The Eye of the Moon,
“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.”
We will release The Eye of the Moon in late July.
