Hungry for good poetry? Smack your lips for LIPSMACK 2!

 As incredible as it seems, NightBallet Press has just celebrated its second anniversary, and is delighted to announce the publication of Lipsmack! A Sampler Platter of Poets from NBP Year Two 2013!
 
 
                                                      
This second Lipsmack! anthology is forty pages long and celebrates the twenty-one poets who’ve had collections published this past season (September to September) by NBP.  With new poems by Joey Nicoletti, John Burroughs, Andrew Rihn, Erren Geraud Kelly, Steven B. Smith, Zachary Fishel, J. E. Stanley, Jean Brandt, Kevin Eberhardt, Christopher Franke, Chansonette Buck, William Merricle, Alex Gildzen, Margie Shaheed, John Dorsey, Laraine Seidl, George Wallace, Steve Brightman, Mike Finley, Jack McGuane, and Lyn Lifshin, there's something to satisfy every poetic palate!

Lipsmack! A Sampler Platter of Poets from NBP Year Two 2013 represents the high quality of writing and sincere dedication to the craft of poetry that characterizes NBP poets.  It has been my distinct pleasure to work with these poets and their heart wrenching, breathtaking, humorous, profound, magical words.  NBP is also pleased to feature the work of several outstanding photographers and artists on its covers and as illustrations inside the books.   Lipsmack! A Sampler Platter of Poets from NBP Year Two 2013 features a gorgeous cover photo by Kathy "Lady" Smith.
