What do Rosmarie Waldrop, a penis museum, columbian legends, and code poetry have in common?

March 4, 2015 by Erica Mena

The new season of Anomalous Press titles is nearly upon us, and I spent the whole day getting these amazing things off to the printer. (I’m so spacey that I just wrote titles, then it looked wrong so I tried titels, but no, its, definitely titles…) [update: you can now pre-order the whole 2015 season!] And seriously, I say this every year, but these books are so so good!

Review of False Friends on Iowa Review

August 23, 2011 by Erica Mena

This is the joy of cognates, as any language learner will tell you—the surprise they can bring to the familiar.
