After much consideration, we have decided to participiate in the SMOL Fair. SMOL Fair is an alternative, virtual book fair that will be 'live' from March 3-7, 2021. Many of our books will be on sale during the book festival because we want everyone to have access to the book discounts we'd normally offer at an in-person book fair. Several of our authors will be hosting live readings throughout the duration of the book fair. You can find the events schedule for the SMOL Fair here. You can also learn about each author and event directly below. NOTE: Not all readings are listed here. Some authors may have opted to give a reading after the deadline for this post. Please check the SMOL Fair's Events Calendar for the most up-to-date schedule.  The Messiah's Customary Diner Booth Reading with Marion Deal Time: Mar 5, 2021, 06:30 PM Central Time (US and Canada) Sit. The Messiah's Customary Diner Booth welcomes you. Yes, you: no matter what truth you're spinning, so long as you're spinning it earnestly. You've got a place with these poems cast as an intellectual fossil record of shit and summoners and something that Rimbaud would probably like, poems as a gathering ground for Soviet spies and child prophets, disaffected professors and radiant spinsters. Share a soggy grilled cheese with drifters who could just as easily show up enshrined on a tablet of Sumerian pictograms as lounge in a 50s diner.

Readers looking for an engaging and spiritual journey will find comfort in CAIRN: POEMS AND ESSAYS. After decades of reading and ogling poetry, Miller made room among the novels, newspaper columns, and preaching to hone poems amidst the wild beauty of northernmost Vermont and the pastoral beauty of the Finger Lakes. The elements of nature are this poet's paint but he also paddles a gondola through the dark channels of the mind while lighting the way.

The settings, both personal and universal, are not only tangible in the imagination, but they invite the reader in to experience stories from the heart.The twelve-story, linked collection, COMETS, follows through-line protagonist, Roberto, as he grows from a working teenager influenced by the men in his father’s cabinet shop, to a disillusioned 42, unwittingly trying to fill his father’s shoes, while searching for a deeper understanding of himself and his life. Set in Ybor City, Tampa’s Latin Quarter, the stories capture a microcosm of blue collar problems, with implications that go beyond racial, economic and cultural boundaries, illuminating a greater understanding of the human experiences we all share, while loss of childhood resonates as an overarching theme.
