He also coedited the anthology A Literary Field Guide to Northern Appalachia with Todd Davis and Caroyln G.

Emily Pera‘s poetry and stories have been anthologized in Halcyone’s 64 Best Poets, Poeming Pigeon, the Bryant Literary Review, Litro Magazine, and The Deadline, among others. This is her first chapbook.
We want to take this opportunity to welcome our new Keystone Series co-editor, Jerry Wemple, to the Seven Kitchens Press family, and to thank our outgoing series co-editor, Jeff Walt, for his service to the series and his continued poetry citizenship. We are happy to add that Karen J. Weyant will stay on as co-editor of this, our longest-running series.
