Thanks, Maryann! (aka Wilbur Prize winner!) This is a manuscript I've been working on for a decade (I'm sloooow), so I'm delighted to have finally finished it and found it such a nice home. I've been a big fan of Waywiser ever since Eric McHenry's Potscrubber Lullabies, though I didn't realize until more recently that the man behind the press, Philip Hoy, was also the man behind those great "Between the Lines" books of interviews with, among others, Hecht and Wilbur...
