Parallel Press releases ‘Eat & Remember’

Poet Carl Lindner engages readers with wordplay and witty fun in “Eat & Remember,” the 13th chapbook of the Parallel Press.

Lindner weaves threads of self-examination, parables for living and gentle iconoclasm with clearly recognizable images in this 17-piece collection.

Lindner, professor of English at UW-Parkside, teaches American literature, creative writing (poetry) and composition. He is the author of two chapbooks titled, “Vampire” and “The Only Game,” one full-length collection, “Shooting Baskets in a Dark Gymnasium,” and he will soon release another collection titled, “Angling Into Light.”

Lindner has also contributed nearly 200 poems to literary journals. The Wisconsin Arts Board recognized Lindner for his poetry with a fellowship in 1981. UW-Parkside honored him with an award for creative activity in 1996.

A chapbook is a small-format literary work, usually of poetry or essays. The Parallel Press is an imprint of the UW–Madison Libraries.
