An article written by Elizabeth McCommon published yesterday in the Roanoke Times mentions Robins and Other Messengers: A Spring Journal. The article references a drawing by Janene Roberts and even cites a passage from one of Patrick Simpson's poems.

New Intern at Pocahontas Press
Hello Readers,
My name is Brian Ivasauskas, and I have recently begun work at Pocahontas Press. I am a senior, majoring in Marketing and minoring in Creative Writing at Virginia Tech.
We've decided to get the blog up and running again, so look for several updates in the coming weeks and months. I will be keeping everyone posted on the happenings at Pocahontas Press, including new publications, special events, and awards and recognitions received by the company.
In the meantime, feel free to check out our latest publications:
From Lion to Eagle by Robert van Luyn
A memoir written about the author's transition from Dutchman to American. In this work, he documents his experiences as an immigrant, transitions into American college life, and eventual graduation and entrance into the workforce. He includes documents and photographs from his times to enhance the experience.
The Life and Times of Otto K ottO by Ira Jacobs (illustrated by Micah Acord)
This political satire stars the cartoon dog, Otto K ottO. Dogs lead busy lives, but none lead one quite as busy as Otto. Join him in his Presidential race against the incumbent Dubya and follow him as he goes for the gold in the Olympic doggie-paddle event. The illustrations provided by Micah Acord add to the work.
Robins and Other Messengers: A Spring Journal by Patrick Simpson (illustrated by Janene Roberts)
This lyrical journal documents the speaker's thoughts and feelings as the season changes from Winter to Spring. All of the major events are well-narrated and explained through beautiful imagery and resonating diction. The delicate drawings done by Janene Roberts sweeten the experience as they relate to the poems perfectly.
If you're interested in any (or all) of these books, please contact us at pocahontas.press@vt.edu.
Until next time!
