2007 Poetry Contest Winner Selected
Slipstream Press is pleased to announce that Douglas Goetsch, of New York, NY, is the winner of its 2007 Poetry Chapbook Contest. Douglas received a $1,000 prize, along with 50 copies of his chapbook, which is titled Your Whole Life.
All poets who enter the Slipstream competition receive a complimentary copy of the winning chapbook along with the latest edition of Slipstream magazine.
About Goetsch, Jeffrey Harrison writes: "Here is a poet who is fully engaged in the world and with language, and who makes no concessions to political correctness or the industry of consolation. Instead, Goetsch fearlessly explores the culture at large and his own emotions, zestfully exposing the thoughts we usually hide from others and even ourselves."
Goetsch grew up in Northport, Long Island, was educated at Wesleyan University and New York University, and resides in New York City. He has been on the writing faculty at The Frost Place, The Dodge Poetry Festival, The Iowa Summer Writing Festival, the Winter Poetry and Prose Getaway, and numerous other conferences and university programs.

Terry Godbey, of Maitland, FL, was the winner of Slipstream's 2006 Poetry Chapbook Contest. Her collection of poems, entitled Behind Every Door, is available from Slipstream Press for $7.00.
"Godbey's collection has real power," writes author Philip F. Deaver, "Her beautiful, quiet voice speaks loudly for women in a compelling vernacular that men, too, will understand and treasure."
Poet Jim Daniels says "There's a refreshing frankness here—where other poets might turn away, Godbey keeps going, digging deeper into the strange, imperfect human heart."
The 2008 Buffalo Small Press Book Fair, will be held Saturday, March 22 at the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in Buffalo, NY. Slipstream Press will once again be an official sponsor of the event.
The fair is a regional event that brings together booksellers, authors, bookmakers, zinesters, small presses, artists, poets, and other cultural workers (and enthusiasts) in a venue where they can share ideas, showcase their art, and peddle their wares.
In addition, poetry readings, performances, discussions, and related lectures are held throughout the day. Check out the event website: Buffalo Small Press Book Fair
