Happy Book Day, Through a Red Place!
Rebecca Pelky's 2021 Perugia Press Prize-winning book
is officially released TODAY, September 15!
at the bookshop on our website through September.
 Praise for
Through a Red Place:
"Using maps, drawings, pedigree chart, photographs, news clippings, Indian school records, redacted source material from Andrew Jackson’s
Message to Congress, and the wonderment of the English and Mohegan languages, Rebecca Pelky pieces together family history and the struggle for acknowledgement
of heritage. 'Here I am. / … I am certain. / I am genuine. / I am willing.' And I would add,
'I am writing.' A competent, lyric/graphic claiming place."
- Diane Glancy, author of
The Book of Bearings
