Great Poetry Month Giveaway! Leave a Comment, Win a Book!
I’m finally putting up my post for the big poetry month giveaway (as described here on Kelli’s blog) so please leave a comment so you can win a book (or two, or three!) I’ll be using a random number generator to pick the winner the first week of May (but I’m closing a house in the first few days of May, so if I’m a day or two off, have patience!)
So, a little about me. I’ve written four books of poetry, Becoming the Villainess (Steel Toe Books, 2006,) She Returns to the Floating World (Kitsune Books, 2011,) Unexplained Fevers (forthcoming from Kitsune Books, 2013) and another book I’m still in process with on Oak Ridge and robots. I’m a poet obsessesed with persona, with pop culture, with the spaces between, with women who turn into foxes and disappear. I write, I review, I teach, I edit, I read. I try to become better. Every book I write I try to take a step in a new direction.
1. The first book I’m giving away is my own second book, She Returns to the Floating World. It’s full of meditations on Japanese folk tales, the role of the female icon in anime movies, women who transform themselves, lovesickness, tragedy, and heroism. Plus a little about Knoxville, imagined voyages, marraige, and dreams. From Kitsune Books, cover art by talented Rene Lynch.
2. The second book I’m giving away is a signed copy of Marie-Elizabeth Mali’s Steady My Gaze is compassionate, spiritual in the most interesting way, interested in Jung’s archetype, in love. No one who reads this book walks away unmoved. From Tebot Bach.
Okay, go ahead, comment away and good luck to you! You may also receive one of the following: The Haiku Handbook, a various literary magazine, or another poetry book of my choosing. You know, depending on how big the box I have to ship stuff is!

I would also love to be entered in your drawing. In high school, I was fascinated by Japanese films like Kwaidan, that were based on old tales. So I would probably dig your floating world.
Angie Vorhies
Both books sound wonderful–fingers crossed.
