Danielle Dutton is the author of Attempts at a Life, from Tarpaulin Sky, and SPRAWL (Siglio Press), finalist for the Believer Book Award. In 2010, Dutton launched her own independent press Dorothy, a publishing project, dedicated to works of fiction, "or near fiction, or about fiction, mostly by women."
Danielle Dutton's debut short-fiction collection, Attempts at a Life, from Tarpaulin Sky Press: "Danielle Dutton writes with a deft explosiveness that craters the page with stunning, unsettling precision" (LAIRD HUNT); "Danielle Dutton executes expert, miniscule language slips that make us slide down the surface of her narratives like raindrops streaking the windows of the last un-gentrified house in an old Victorian neighborhood.... An important new literary voice" (RAIN TAXI); "It’s serious, but as many dramatists celebrate: comedy orbits a dark sun. Which is to say, this is also a very funny book" (AMERICAN BOOK REVIEW)
Max Winter's first book of poems, The Pictures, was published by Tarpaulin Sky Press in 2007. He co-edits the press Solid Objects and is a Poetry Editor of Fence. He has published reviews in The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, Time Out New York, Bookforum, and other publications.
Max Winter's first poetry collection, The Pictures, from Tarpaulin Sky Press: "A long-awaited debut by a promising younger poet" (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY); "Inherently fun" (BOOKSLUT); "subtle, thought-provoking" (OPEN LETTERS); "very much worth reading" (OCTOPUS MAGAZINE)
Jenny Boully's one love affair (Tarpaulin Sky Press, 2006) meditates on mud daubers, Duras, and the deaths of mentally ill and drug-addicted lovers, blurring fiction, essay, and memoir in an extended prose poem that is as much a study of how we read as it is a treatise on the language of love affairs: a language of hidden messages, coded words, cryptic gestures, and suspicion: "I highly recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a way into the “trans-genre” of prose poetry." (OPEN LETTERS MONTHLY); "Boully’s sentences are a joy in and of themselves" (RATTLE); "A genre-bending back-pocket book.... Gritty and intellectual ... addictive and soothing ... fitting for just about anyone’s bookshelf.... You’re reading the book for second, third, and fourth time." (COLDFRONT)
