Craig Morgan Teicher's Short Attention Span

Craig Morgan Teicher's Cradle Book is in the running for the Story Prize. The Story Prize is a distinguished annual award given to a short story collection. We hope Craig's book wins. He deserves it.

"Historial poetic relations abound"

The Brooklyn Rail considers the work of one of its Brooklyn citizens, Craig Morgan Teicher, in this review of Craig's new collection, Cradle Book:  "Cradle Book is described as a series of fairytales.  But Craig Morgan Teicher’s second collection of poems is more precisely described as a series of aphorisms and parables—paeans, all, to our soul-stealing world.   With grim aplomb, Teicher sets about his task, constructing single-page tales that seemingly pre-date contemporary notions of narrative."
