Releases Updated

All available releases from Yellow Flag Press are updated and ready for sale. We have also updated the complete list of Sold Out titles, both in the sidebar.

Darrell Bourque on the Radio

YFP poet and former poet laureate of Louisiana Darrell Bourque will be reading the poems from Vision/Verse 3 on the KRVS (Lafayette-Lake Charles) poetry segment, "From the Poet's Bookshelf" which airs on Thursdays at around 3:30pm (can be 3:20 to 3:35 or so---they fit the segment into other programming) on 88.7 FM. The next series will begin with a couple of poems by Catharine Savage Brosman from a new work scheduled for release from LSU Press, and then the next 10 weeks will feature the poems from this year's Vision Verse project.

Be sure to tune in if you live in the Lake Charles or Lafayette areas.

Vision/Verse 3, Releases out of print...

Vision/Verse 3 was a great success, and the show was bigger and better than ever before. Many YFP releases sold out at the show. We are in the process of updating the sidebar to reflect all of our available and out of print releases.

J. Bruce Fuller/ William Lusk Coppage Dual Broadside

We are releasing a limited edition double broadside for the occasion of tonight's reading by YFP poets J. Bruce Fuller and William Lusk Coppage. The reading is at The Porch Coffee House in Lake Charles, LA, and is part of The Porch's First Friday Poetry Series. The broadside will be limited to 20 signed and hand numbered copies, which feature J. Bruce Fuller's "Night Fishing" on one side, and William Lusk Coppage's "Homecoming Game" on the other.
