IAWA Featured Reading this Saturday, Oct. 13th at The Sidewalk Cafe and Upcoming Chapbook Publication from Finishing Line Press

Greetings everyone!

Hope this finds you well and enjoying the slowly approaching autumn.

I am excited to feature once again with the Italian American Writers Association this Saturday, October 13th from 5:30pm-7:30pm at The Sidewalk Cafe (94 Avenue A @6th St.). I am honored to co-feature alongside playwright Elizabeth Primamore and will be reading selections from my upcoming chapbook, The Psyche Trials (Finishing Line Press). A great open mic starts before the featured readings.

Looking ahead, I will be sending along a link during the pre-sale period for The Psyche Trials once it becomes available from Finishing Line Press. We need feminist poetry and solidarity more than ever these days, which my chapbook embodies through its collection of my personal yet universal love poems.

Thank you for all your support!

Peace and inspiration,

Stephanie

Our country and a New Five-Star Review of The Boulevard Trial

As our country braces itself for Monday’s testimony before the Senate by one woman whose patriotism and bravery  are inexorably linked with the status of women’s rights for generations to come, let us lift her up in unyielding solidarity.

One of the major themes in my novel, The Boulevard Trial, is solidarity with and among women. I am proud to see that readers have continued to enjoy what I set out to do, in particular as expressed in this new five-star review of The Boulevard Trial.

The reviewer states, “Excellent page turner. Read like a thriller. Loved the character development of the three main females as well as the mother daughter relationship story line.”

Solidarity is achievable if we practice it every day. Indeed, our rights and futures depend on it.

I stand with Christine Blasey Ford.

Peace and inspiration,

Stephanie

New poem, “Zoetrope Sky”, in First Literary Review-East

Hello everyone,

After enjoying two days listening to some of the best poetry NYC has to offer at the NYC Poetry Festival on Governor’s Island, I was thrilled to learn that my own poem about climate change, “Zoetrope Sky” has been published today in First Literary Review-East! I was just talking with someone today about the reality that nature will have the last word against those who deny the very real threat of climate change. I hope you enjoy reading my poem and will share it far and wide!

Peace and inspiration always,

Stephanie

Review of The Boulevard Trial on Compulsive Reader

I awoke with the joy of seeing that poet Karen Corinne Herceg‘s brilliant review of my novel, The Boulevard Trial, has also been featured on Compulsive Reader!

The opening lines of Karen’s review assert, “In clear, often compelling prose, Stephanie Laterza’s debut novel, The Boulevard Trial, offers us a contemporary story of moral dilemmas, confused intentions and missed connections that frequently result in disappointing resolutions and, at times, even tragic consequences. The traumas of the novel’s characters bleed into their ongoing personal experiences like an unchecked, gaping wound.”

Eternal gratitude to Karen and Compulsive Reader!
