Triple Book Release Reading for Gossamer Nevele Grimoire, by Derek Fenner (Bird & Beckett); Death Under Construction, by Ava Koohbor (Ugly Ducking Presse/Bird & Beckett); and Resolution of the West, by Nicholas James Whittington (Bootstrap Press)

Derek Fenner is an artist, educator, poet, and researcher. He earned his MFA in writing and poetics from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University. In 2000, with Ryan Gallagher, he co-founded Bootstrap Press, which has published over 40 books by poets across the country.

Her poems have appeared in various publications. Her chapbooks Triangle Squared (Bootstrap Press) and Sinusoidal Forms (Lew Gallery). Death Under Construction is her first full collection of poetry in English. She believes that each artist is a medium to transfer the world of possibilities to what is.

Recent chapbooks include Provisions (PUSH Press, 2017) and Indefinite Sessions (Gas Meter Books, 2016). Resolution of the West (Bootstrap Press, 2020) is his first full-length collection.
