It’s here! Gold Line Press, the chapbook press a group of USC PhD students & alumni (yes, including me) started last fall, has finally released its first publication. The winner of our Poetry Chapbook Contest, Heather Aimee O’Neill’s Memory Future is a lovely little collection of poems—but don’t take my word for it. From judge Carol Muske-Dukes:
“We’ll leave behind a language, travel back,” says Heather Aimee O’Neill in a poem from “Memory Future,” locating the ghost of Jeanette Winterson’s “… memory past, memory future” precisely in these lyrical remembrances of what has not yet come full circle. The trajectory forward into memory is the path of the imagination—these fiercely delicate poems prove what we already knew: that remembering and imagining are one.Very excited to finally hold this in my hands. Buy one here. Tell your friends.
