Claudia Smith's new collection of short-shorts is now available through Rose Metal Press.

Ron Carlson, who chose Claudia's manuscript as the winner of Rose Metal's chapbook contest, has this to say about Claudia's collection:

"Each of Claudia Smith's short shorts is a tilted memory of love and loss ... There is a natural accuracy in these brief narratives; the stories are short; her voice is true."

The chapbook features letter-press covers printed at the Museum of Printing in Andover, Massachusetts, and each is saddle-sewn together by hand.

We are very happy for Claudia, whose story "Daughter" appeared in Night Train's Issue V.
