Cradle Book

Craig Morgan Teicher is a young writer who has already made a big name for himself. His first book was selected by Paul Hoover as winner of the prestigious Colorado Prize for Poetry (2007). It was published by the Center for Literary Publishing and is in its second printing. Craig is also the poetry editor of Publishers Weekly, a contributing editor of Pleiades, and a Vice President on the board of the National Book Critics Circle. His fables and poems have appeared or are forthcoming in many publications, including The Best American Poetry 2009, The Paris Review, The Yale Review, A Public Space, Jubilat, Seneca Review, Forklift Ohio, Octopus, La Petit Zine, Fairy Tale Review, Verse, and Colorado Review. His reviews of poetry and fiction, and profiles of poets, appear widely in magazines and newspapers like Poets & Writers, Poets.org, Time Out New York, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Boston Review and Bookforum. Through his creative writing, reviews, and journalism, Craig has garnered many contacts that he will call on to help publicize The Cradle Book. The Cradle Book is a collection of stories (most properly, fables) but it is also deeply poetic and will appeal to anyone who enjoys fables, poems, or fantastic stories of any kind.
