            Finishing Line Press is proud to announce the publication of Chance & Choice:
            Melissa Crowe, author of Girl, Giant and editor of Beloit Poetry Journal says: “In this wise and searching collection, Alice Bolstridge illuminates crucial connections between the animal, the human, and the cosmic. . . . The speaker of these poems makes herself kin to weasels and wildcats, to elephants mourning their dead, and to mythic figures by whose triumphs and failures we come to understand our own struggles, our own joys.” 

            Advance sales are greatly appreciated as they will determine press run and author award. Please preorder by sending to the above address $13.99 plus discounted shipping until January 13 of $2.99. Or order online at
