Mongrel Empire Press Announces 2 New Titles
Mongrel Empire Press announces the publication a book of poetry and a short story collection.
Norman, OK, March 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Mongrel Empire Press, an Eclectic Publishing House specializing in regional and unusual literary works, announces the publication of The Coyotes Forgive You, a short story collection by Jim Drummond and Remembering the Body, a book of poetry by Alan Berecka.
Jim Drummond, by day an attorney in Norman, OK, has written a collection of quirky, funny, and sometimes disturbing stories that arise fully formed from a “crucified land” where the unexpected is a sure deal, strangers and acquaintances are often more reliable than family, and nothing is ever quite what it seems. Readers who devour Adam Johnson’s fiction will undoubtedly be delighted by Drummond’s The Coyotes Forgive You.
The poems in Alan Berecka’s Remembering the Body reveal the sacred in the mundane and the mundane in the sacred, all the while remaining reverently attentive to the miraculous. Of Remembering the Body, Janet McCann says, “These poems are high-energy, driving narratives that range from hilarious vignettes to poignant episodes of loss and injustice - and now and then one of these small, complete stories manages to be both. Berecka’s special gift is a twisty irony that hauls your eyelids up.”
