Fiction and poetry penned by nationally known writers and by students enrolled in Boise State University's master of fine arts program in writing are featured in the latest edition of cold- drill (85 pages, $9.95), an annual collection that has been an Idaho literary tradition for more than 30 years. This year's edition features stories and poetry by new and emerging writers, including Sharon Thatcher, E.J. Pettinger, V.V. Parker, Jill Stewart and Amy Hepworth, as well as a chapbook by Christian Winn, a 2003 graduate of Boise State's MFA program, and a selection of poems by Danny Stewart, a local poet and Boise State graduate whose first collection of poems, The Imaginary World, is forthcoming from Wolf Peach Press. The topics in the current anthology cover a range of human experiences, said cold-drill editor Malia Collins. "From a story of one woman's desire, to two brothers and their end of summer drive, to a lifestyle change that ends in devastating consequences, the stories in cold-drill are a wonderful mix." The editors of cold-drill would like to give special recognition to Boise State English professor Tom Trusky, who brought cold-drill into existence and then prominence over the course of his editorial tenure. Mitch Wieland is the current faculty adviser. Writers are welcome to submit entries of original prose and poetry for next year's edition. There is no word limit. Submit entries with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the editor at cold-drill, Boise State University, Department of English, 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID 83725-1525. The edition is available at the Boise State Bookstore or by calling the Boise State English department at (208) 426-3862. Bound in a large 6- by 9-inch trade paperback format, cold drill is printed on high quality, acid-free paper. -30- Contact Mitch Wieland English 426-1002 Media Contact Janelle Brown communications and marketing 426-1790
