Omphalos 11 went to press today and will be ready next week! Stanley Mouse came through with 10 amazing new pieces and the interview with John Cage is very intriguing, to say the least!

After next Thursday’s poetry reading at EFG Books we will be suspending readings until further notice.
The good news is that we will begin showing movies at the store beginning Saturday, June 12th at 8pm. Our first feature film will be the Coen brothers’ cult classic, The Big Lebowski! The movie will begin at 8pm sharp and there is limited seating so arrive early enough to get your spot! Spread the word!

This Saturday, April 3rd, EFG Books is hosting Zsuzsanna Donnell’s closing reception and the Exploring the Source poetry reading back to back! Gallery reception begins at 5pm and the reading begins at 7pm. There will be snacks and drinks (wine, coffee, etc), and we are expecting a pretty good turnout. The weather is looking to be beautiful as well, so please set aside the time to come out and support the arts at EFG Books and Gallery!
And remember, Zsuzsanna Donnell’s paintings are ALL marked down 15% and all the proceeds go directly to her. You can view images from her show here.

Go here to listen to our February 4th poetry reading at EFG Books. A review of the reading will be posted shortly.
Also, stay tuned for Michael Corrigan’s limited edition letterpress card to be made available at ninepointpublishing.com for only $15!
Many things have taken place since I last posted here. There have been some changes outside of this realm of publishing and books, hence the small hiatus since my last post.
LATEST NEWS:
- Zsuzsanna Donnell, the artist in our current issue of Omphalos, is now showing a beautifully cohesive exhibit of her colorful acrylics in the gallery at EFG Books in Bridgton. The show runs thru April 3rd.
- Michael Corrigan, as well as a group of six other very diverse poets, just read a fine selection of poems on Thursday night at EFG Books. You can read more about it here (when we finish transferring the audio recordings).
- Nine Point Publishing just released a signed limited edition letterpress card by Michael Corrigan on Thursday night in conjunction with him being the featured reader at Exploring the Source 6. Stop in EFG Books to pick up a copy or go here to see and buy the card (again, we’re still working on transferring images and setting up the buy option for it)
- Nine Point Publishing is releasing a chapbook of poetry by James Day Leavitt at the end of March, too. I will keep updating the progress of that publication as it evolves.
- Finally, on Saturday, April 3rd EFG Books & Gallery will be hosting a combined Closing Reception for Zsuzsanna Donnell from 5-7pm followed by a poetry reading at 7pm. Hopefully we’ll see many familiar faces and many new ones! Come down to spend the evening with us! We’ll have a medley of hors d’oeuvres, wine, coffee and sparkling water.
- And if you are on Facebook you can become of fan of EFG Books by going here.
