MAXINE CHERNOFF'S most recent book is "Light and Clay: New and Selected Poems," a finalist for the 2Northern California Book Award. May-Lee Chai says, "Maxine Chernoff is a wordsmith par excellence. Her new collection covers political turmoil, pandemic anxiety, and matters of the heart and body, while finding language for our fractious times. Chernoff 's poems are indeed 'lacing the world in / tangled sound and / string.'" Her poetry collections include "Here"; "World: Poems; Leap Year Day: New and Selected Poems"; "New Faces of 1952," winner of the Carl Sandburg Award; "Utopia TV Store: Prose Poems"; and "Vegetable Emergency," among others. She is also the author of a book of stories, "Sign of Devotion," a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. She lives in Mill Valley, California.GLORIA FRYM'S new book is "Lies & More Lies." Maxine Chernoff says, "What a profound and often moving bearer of witness. And in capturing the single notes of language that explain us, Frym creates a symphony for our terrible moment, a 2024 addition to "Adagio for Strings," alive with caution and hope. Read this book—It will help you learn that words laced with honesty are the highest form to which writing may aspire." Her previous collections include "The Stage Stop Model," "Mind Over Matter," and "Homeless at Home," recipient of an American Book Award, among others. She is also author of "How Proust Ruined My Life & Other Essays"; "Second Stories," a book of interviews with women artists; and two critically acclaimed short story collections, "Distance No Object" and "How I Learned." She lives in Berkeley.
