John Poch wins Justice Prize

2008-07-14T10:33:00.000-04:00

Two Men Fighting with a Knife, John Poch's second collection of poetry, is the 2008 Donald Justice Poetry Prize winner. David Mason, Donald Justice Poetry Prize judge, said of Poch’s manuscript: “In spite of its rueful undercurrent of mortality, Two Men Fighting with a Knife is one of the wittiest books I have read in years, full of an active thrust and parry.

John Poch mines these poems from a rich vein of American vernacular. He's a
raconteur of Texas and 'the old west ins and outs,' offering a range of moods from anger to hilarity and grief, hewing close to actual lives, surprising us with crackerjack phrasing and vital talk."

Ghost Towns of the Enchanted Circle

2008-02-19T16:34:00.003-05:00

Flying Horse is please to announce the release of a new collaborative book featuring the poetry of John Poch and artwork by Ryan Burkhart. Thirteen sonnets and a love poem explore northern New Mexico, its ghost towns, mines, culture, and people. The poems are joined with original photographs which explore the landscape through visual metaphors, creating a rich mood that transcends time.

Handmade and Hand bound, Ghost Towns of the Enchanted Circle is published in a limited edition of 35 books. It is made from the finest handmade papers, which invite the reader to explore as much with the sense of touch as with their eyes. The poems are printed in Jenson Light Font Letterpress.

Thanks to Texas Tech Special Collections, who have added Ghost Towns to their permanent collections.

About John Poch:

He was the Colgate University Creative Writing Fellow from 2000-2001, and now directs the creative writing program at Texas Tech University. He was named the 2007 Thornton Writer-in-Residence at Lynchburg College.

His first book, Poems, was published in January 2004 from Orchises Press and was a finalist for the PEN/Osterweil prize. His chapbook of fifteen sonnets, In Defense of the Fall, was published by Trilobite Press in 2000. The Essential Hockey Haiku (a poetry/fiction collaboration with Chad Davidson) was published by St. Martin’s Press in Fall 2006. A limited edition letterpress/art book, Ghost Towns of the Enchanted Circle (Flying Horse Editions 2007) is his latest published work. Dolls, a full-length collection of poems, is forthcoming in December 2008 with Orchises Press.

Poch was a recipient of the “Discovery”/The Nation Prize in 1998 and has been awarded residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Headlands Center for the Arts, The Saltonstall Foundation, and Blue Mountain Center.

The Affair

2007-09-21T12:32:00.000-04:00

The Affair at the Jupiter was such a wonderful showcase of the work we've done at Flying Horse over the last few years.

In a matter of 4 or 5 hours, Assistant Director Larry, our interns Sean Blay and Mike Schweizer and I transformed our 10 x 20 foot hotel room into a professional gallery in anticipation of the 3000 people who would be visiting with us over the next 3 days.

Entering the gallery at the Jupiter

Over 40 galleries from the United States participated in the event. Many of our visitors were excited by the fine books we are publishing and took the time to leaf through them and ask lots of questions about how we produce them.

Two stacked double beds formed a table for viewing our fine limited edition books

Fairgoers checking out the work!

FHE would like to thank Stuart Horodner and Laurel Gitlen for organizing the event. We at the press appreciated being invited personally by the organizers to participate.

Sean took the time to do a custom drawing on our door

Summer is coming to an end, which means the season is gearing up for FHE and the artworld in general. This fall will be a busy one for us. Underway is a project with Tom Nozkowski and John Yau. Currently in research stage, we're working to find the right materials and designs for a book collaboration between these two recognized creative forces.

FHE has been invited to exhibit our prints, books and ephemera at the Affair at the Jupiter Hotel in Portland, OR from Sept 13-16. We'll be exhibiting more than 15 artists during the fair, exposing some west coast collectors to our passion and commitment to our high quality editions and collaborations.
