It's been 12 years since Lorna Landvik's "Patty Jane's House of Curl" — written by hand on yellow legal pads at the Nokomis Public Library — hit the bestseller list. This year, finally, there's a sequel. "Once in a Blue Moon Lodge," the story of Patty Jane's daughter Nora, will be published in April by the University of Minnesota Press.
Minneapolis poet Todd Boss, founder of Motionpoems, will publish his third collection, "Tough Luck," with W.W. Norton in June. The centerpiece of the collection is "Fragments for the 35W Bridge," 35 poems of 35 lines each, originally published in the Star Tribune in 2012, on the fifth anniversary of the I-35W bridge collapse.
And Dudley Riggs, a legend in the local theater world, has written a memoir, "Flying Funny: My Life Without a Net," coming in April from the University of Minnesota Press.
Fiction, poetry, memoir — what more could we hope for?
