Slapering Hol Press Virtual Reading Series with Susana H. Case, Lynn McGee, and Sean Nevin

During this difficult time when everyone is deprived of contact with our beloved poetry community, we hope that the SHP virtual reading series will connect and inspire us until we can meet again in person at the Hudson Valley Writers Center. This reading is free and open to the public, via Zoom, but donations are welcome and encouraged.

Join three of our incredible Slapering Hol Press poets—Susana H. Case, Lynn McGee, and Sean Nevin— as they read from their most recent collections and discuss what it meant for each of them to have their first chapbooks published by SHP.

Susana H. Case is the author of seven books of poetry. Dead Shark on the N Train is due out in 2020 from Broadstone Books. Drugstore Blue, 2017 from Five Oaks Press, won an Independent Publisher Book Award (IPPY). She is also the author of five chapbooks, two of which won poetry prizes. Her most recent chapbook is Body Falling, Sunday Morning from Milk and Cake Press. One of her collections, The Scottish Café, from Slapering Hol Press, was re-released in a dual-language English-Polish version, Kawiarnia Szkocka by Opole University Press in Poland.
