Traci Brimhall

Rookery has received its first official review at Coldfront.

"It is as if Brimhall understands impassioned devotion and wishes to worship, instead, the simple, the overlooked, the soon to depart but eternally real."

I found out today that Rookery is a finalist for the Foreword Book Prize. I am in remarkable company and am proud to be on the list next to some other extraordinary books.

I received a Luso-American Scholarship to attend the Disquiet International Literary Program in Portugal this summer which covers my flight, accommodations and tuition for the two week conference. My mom helped me start practicing my conversational Portuguese this afternoon. My sincere thanks to Dzanc Books and the Luso-American Development Foundation for their generosity. Obrigada!
