More about the readers
CJ Evans's full-length book of poems is A Penance (New Issues Press/Western Michigan University, 2012). Terrance Hayes says, "There is an uneasy tenderness to CJ Evans's A Penance. His poems trouble desire, they trouble the world…until it fractures into the sort of captivating music a modern day Orpheus might sing." He co-edited, with Brenda Shaughnessy, Satellite Convulsions: Poems from Tin House (Tin House Books). He works as managing editor of Two Lines: World Writing in Translation and is a contributing editor for Tin House magazine.
Ben Mirov's new book of poems is Hider Roser (Octopus Books, 2012). His previous collection, Ghost Machine, was selected for publication by Michael Burkard and chosen as one of the best books of 2010 for Believer Magazine's Reader Survey. He has also published several chapbooks, including My Hologram Chamber is Surrounded by Miles of Snow (YesYes Books).
