The Least You Need to Know
Stories by Lee Martin

1995 winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction
"Martin's work resists the pull of shiny look-at-me prose ...
Martin wants
to
tell the story. He wants us
to
know everyone and
give them a chance,
to
understand what is happening, even as we
are shaking our heads at how appalling, how lame, how stupid,
how vulnerable we all are."

The Lord and the General Din ofthe World
Poems by Jane Mead
ISBN 0-9641151-0-7 $19.95 cloth
ISBN 0-9641151-1-5 $12.95 paper
1995 winner of the Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry
"It
is because in these poems we suffer a world ofmadness, addiction,
and death that the moments of redemption are so charged and sig–
nificant. These poems possess the uncanny ability
to
discover
beauty where we almost never see it, in the least honored and most
despised places."
