This is How She Fails - by Lisa J. Cihlar (CC#23)

Our latest Crisis Chronicles Press chapbook, This Is How She Fails by Lisa J. Cihlar, is a cycle of more than two dozen prose poems - often haunting, always gorgeous - comprising 26 pages, 8.5 x 5.5", hand assembled and saddle staple bound, featuring a white and dual blue cardstock cover with cover art by Lisa Marie Peaslee.  Published on 8 May 2012, I imagine you'll love it every bit as much as I do.

This Is How She Fails is available for $7 US (includes shipping) to Crisis Chronicles Press, 535 Parkside Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44143 USA. Approximately 150 copies in print.  One reader writes, "WARNING: Do not read before bedtime. [This book] will follow you into your dreams."
