We are so excited to have a presentation during our residency and festival by Two Sylvias Press, one of our favorite literary presses. Kelli Russell Agodon will be presenting. You can find the website of Two Sylvias Press here.

About The Cofounders/Editors:

Two Sylvias Press was founded in 2010 by Seattle area poets Kelli Russell Agodon and Annette Spaulding-Convy (past Co-Editors of Crab Creek Review literary journal) because great writing is good for the world!

Annette Spaulding-Convy’s full-length collection, In Broken Latin is published by the University of Arkansas Press (Fall 2012) as a finalist for the Miller Williams Poetry Prize. Her chapbook, In The Convent We Become Clouds, won the 2006 Floating Bridge Press Chapbook Award and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She is also the editor of Fire On Her Tongue: An Anthology of Contemporary Women's Poetry.

Annette is the recipient of an Artist Trust GAP Grant and the Artist Trust Fellowship Award. She was also chosen for a Jack Straw Fellowship in 2011. Her poems have appeared in Prairie Schooner, North American Review, Crab Orchard Review, and in the International Feminist Journal of Politics, among others. She is cofounder of Two Sylvias Press.

Kelli Russell Agodon’s third collection of poems, Hourglass Museum, was a Finalist in the Washington State Book awards and shortlisted for the Julie Suk Poetry Prize. Her other books are Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room (Winner of the Foreword Book of the Year in Poetry and Finalist for the 2010 Washington State Book Prize), Small Knots, Geography, and Fire On Her Tongue: An Anthology of Contemporary Women's Poetry.

Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, O, The Oprah Magazine, Prairie Schooner, New England Review, as well as on "The Writer's Almanac" with Garrison Keillor's and in Keillor's Good Poems for Hard Times anthology. She also is the Co-Director of Poets on the Coast: A Retreat for Women Poets. She is a cofounder of Two Sylvias Press.

Soul Bone is happy to announce that Kelli Russell Agodon will also be reading during our residency together with poet Sara Henning.

Below the two Sylvias the press is named after.
