WHAT'S NEW AT
BROADSTONE MEDIA:
Broadstone Books has revised our submission
policy, so be sure to read it before sending us
your work. The most important change is that
we are no longer considering work from
authors outside of North America. This was a
hard decision based on our capacity, and no
reflection on the excellent literature being
written around the world.
Broadstone Books congratulates poet Barbara
Leff and designer Jonathan Green, whose book
And God Said... has been named a finalist for
the 2018 daVinci Eye Award for cover design!
Broadstone Books author Michael Joyce was
interviewed by Pennsound editor Chris
Funkhouser on "Poet Ray'd Yo." Click here
to hear Micheal read from and discuss his new
poetry collection A Hagiography of Heaven
and Vicinity (see below).
An interview of Broadstone Books author Ed
O'Casey by Octavio Quintanilla regarding his
poetry collection Proximidad (see below) is
up now at the American Microreviews &
Interviews website. Click here to read it.

Proximidad
A Mexican-American Memoir by
Ed O'Casey
"Ed O'Casey’s Proximidad is a gorgeous, harrowing
memoir of identity and place.... O'Casey shows us
how fragile and dread-edged even the fiercest of
our loves can be. This is a wondrous first book."
— Alex Lemon
A hybrid of verse and memoir and journalism by an
author whose life and words bridge two worlds, this is
essential poetry of documentary witness of the horrific
effects of America's drug wars and trade pacts.

Instructions for Staging
Poetry by
Kristina Marie Darling &
Carol Guess
"Weaving the jargon of real estate with the language
of divorce, Kristina Marie Darling and Carol Guess
create a book that is equal parts black humor and
human insight.... Instructions for Staging shows us
the dynamism of their collaboration: inventive and
bittersweet, resulting in a darkly playful read.
—Robin F. Brox
The real estate practice of "home staging" becomes
a metaphor for the illusions, and dissolution, of
marriage, and more broadly, of modern life in
general.

A Hagiography of Heaven
and Vicinity
Poetry by
Michael Joyce
“Hagiography of Heaven includes some of the best
writing I have read this year, and moreover it is wise,
offering up an extraordinarily attentive and
reassuring poetry celebrating the familiarity and
strangeness of the ordinary where the ordinary
includes the literary and the heavenly.”
—Keith Tuma

Fitzpatrick
Poetry by
Richard Carr
"In Richard Carr’s newest collection of poetry,
Fitzpatrick, Joyce’s Bloom—reincarnated as a
painter —is presented, for our amusement and,
perhaps, our edification, through the lens of his
bartender, his 'bastard' of a drinking buddy, his wife,
and, most clearly perhaps, his paintings themselves."
—George Looney
In masterful narrative verse, Richard Carr uses
multiple voices and perspectives to portray his title
character, the artist Fitzpatrick, glimpsed here only
through others and his work.

Poems 2014—2017
Jonathan Greene
The latest collection from a master poet whose career
now spans six decades. Though each exquisitely well-
chosen word here bears the full weight of human
experience, Jonathan Greene's touch is so light and sure
that his poems float on the page, and in our minds upon
reading them.
