SMORG Presents:
Susan Tichy and Stacy Szymaszek

Susan Tichy’s most recent book, Bone Pagoda (Ahsahta Press, 2007), is an
extended meditation on Vietnam—the country, the war, and the moral
catastrophe signified by this word in American memory. It is underwritten
by her experience as a war protester and as the wife of a combat veteran.
Her poems have appeared widely in the US and Britain, and have been
recognized by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and
numerous awards. She teaches in the Graduate Writing Program at George
Mason University in Virginia, and otherwise makes her home in a ghost town
in the Colorado Rockies. Her fourth book, Gallowglasss, will be out from
Ahsahta in 2010.

Stacy Szymaszek is the author of Emptied of All Ships (Litmus Press,
2005), Hyperglossia (Litmus Press, 2009) as well as many chapbooks, most
recently Orizaba: A Voyage With Hart Crane (Faux, 2008). A limited edition
letterpress chapbook, from Hart Island is forthcoming from Albion Books.
She is the editor of Gam and the Artistic Director of the Poetry Project
at St. Mark's Church.
