Forgotten Borough Book Release Party: 2/26/11 at LIC Bar!

Thanks to all who came out to the Forgotten Borough AWP event and who stopped by the SUNY Press table—and especially to those who bought copies! Such a blast!

Forgotten Borough is officially available for sale from SUNY Press and looks FANTASTIC, if I do say so myself. Order your copy from SUNY today and support a wonderful nonprofit publisher!

If you'll be in the NYC area on Saturday, February 26, we'll be celebrating the release of the book at LIC Bar from 6 to 8 p.m.! Books will be for sale, courtesy of Mobile Libris, and we'll hear short readings from contributors Nicole Cooley, Marcy Dermansky, and Arthur Nersesian!

Click here for more details and to RSVP on Facebook! All are welcome!

Forgotten Borough in the Queens Tribune

Forgotten Borough is featured in the leisure section of this week's Queens Tribune, in an article by Domenick Rafter. Read about editor Nicole Steinberg's connection to Queens and her process in putting together the book: "An Ode to our 'Forgotten Borough'"

Many thanks to Domenick and the Queens Tribune!

Like the above shot? It's by FB cover artist Sheryl Yvette, aka *Bitch Cakes*, a truly talented photographer. Stay tuned to the FB blog for more Queens photos, as well as news about the book and excerpts.
