RENÉ LeBLANC WHERE THE BODY ENDS
Despite loss, betrayal, and illness, LeBlanc's stories approach the reader with an honest heart and an open hand. Unsentimental living—for those forced to sell their plasma or lock themselves away at night as protection from their disabled children—happens where the body ends and the world begins. LeBlanc received her MFA in Creative Writing from Texas State, where she teaches in the English department and is a Student Learning Development Specialist for SLAC.
TOMÁS Q. MORÍN A LARGER COUNTRY
Winner of the APR/Honickman Prize, Morín's poems are as infectious and spooky and darkly humorous as the Brothers Grimm, as shapely and colloquial and eloquent as John Donne, and as skeptical and addicted to history-as-fable as Zbigniew Herbert. (Tom Sleigh, from the introduction) Morín was educated at Johns Hopkins University and Texas State, where he teaches literature and writing.

Interview with photographer Dan Winters
At 25 years old, Dan Winters moved from his home state of California to New York. During these personally and artistically formative years, Winters took in the city which has inspired and captivated so many artists who came before him. The photographs that comprise The Grey Ghost include the timeless icons of the city that we all know well, including the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. However even at a young age, Winters’ signature approach is palpable, and the images that emerge are technical, delicate, and surprising despite our familiarity with these landmarks.
Among the icons of the city, Winters captures the fleeting, beautiful, and strange happenings one experiences on the streets of New York. The serendipitous moments that only become visible to those comfortable with a city, when the bustle and noise begin to fade and one can truly begin to see what makes the city so remarkable. The Grey Ghost becomes an ode to the city-as-muse, one that eternally captivates and inspires.
Winters notes in his introduction to The Grey Ghost, “It is a city unlike any I have known. One in which sidewalks are a great equalizer and both kings and peasants share the pavement in a choreographed, democratic ballet…The myriad smells, hot flashes, chaos, and drone of car horns overcame me. This grand symphony occurs with such frequency and persistence, it eventually becomes a shrill and continuous presence... As time passed I became a fragment of the organism, as vital a piece that any one person can occupy. The metamorphosis was underway and my deep love for one of the world's most spirited and influential of places began to blossom.”
Dan Winters is an award-winning photographer based in Austin, Texas and Los Angeles. He is a regular contributor for WIRED, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, GQ, Esquire, Rolling Stone, TIME, and many other national and international publications. Winters’s photographs are included in the permanent collection at the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, and the Wittliff Collection at Texas State University in San Marcos. His previous books include, Road to Seeing (2014), Last Launch: Discovery, Endeavor, Atlantis (2012), Dan Winters’s America: Icons and Ingenuity (2012), and Periodical Photographs (2009).
