Author of "Rough Honey," selected by Mark Doty for the APR/Honickman First Book Prize, Melissa Stein celebrates the launch of her anticipated second collection, "Terrible Blooms" (Copper Canyon), with a reading and party at The Bindery. Stein's poems are sensual, full of loss and renewal: "over and over // life slapping you in the face / till you're newly burnished / flat-out gasping and awake."
