Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland is pleased to present another installment of Poetry Flash on Sunday, March 21 at 3pm with poets Janet Holmes and Rusty Morrison. Janet Holmes' new book of poems, The ms of m y kin, as she explains, is derived by erasure from The Poems of Emily Dickinson, and so 'the manuscript of my kin'. She is the award-winning author of four previous books of poems, most recently F2F. She is also Editor of Ahsahta Press, an avant-garde poetry press. Rusty Morrison's first book of poems, Whethering, won the Colorado Prize for Poetry; her second, The True Keeps Calm Biding Its Story, won the 2007 Sawtooth Poetry Prize from Ahsahta Press, selected by Peter Gizzi, and then the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets for the best second book of poetry published in America that year. Morrison is co-founder and co-editor of Omnidawn Publishing.
