Craig Morgan Teicher's Cradle Book, which was published in 2010 as part of BOA's American Readers Series, has recently been selected as an Editor's Favorites pick for Summer 2011 by Cerise Press. In Teicher's debut collection of short stories, "[m]ortality permeates... With piercing brevity, he features villagers and personified animals who endure an austere existence... Teicher imbues portraits of melancholy with truth-telling that elucidate the brutal yet wondrous mysteries between 'silence and sound,'" writes Editor Karen Rigby. You can purchase Cradle Book here.
