*Frost Will Come* is one of 12 titles (!) featured in POETS AND WRITERS page one “New and Noteworthy" column.

Honored to appear alongside writers whom I revere!!

There’s also a five-minute audio recording in which I read from the book.

You can listen w/out a paywall. Just scroll down on the link in comments or perform a ctrl f with my name.

Or listen to them all! I surely am!

Thank you POETS AND WRITERS MAGAZINE. Thank you University of Wisconsin Press. by @maryhats

Thrilled for this piece to land today @ AGNI’s REVERB, on author phishing scams, and all that instructs me as a writer—snails, flowers, Emily Dickinson, and life out of reach of AI.

Part I, on impersonation;

Part II: “A Letter on AI and Creative Nonfiction.”

Is it possible to resist this new form of capitalist predation? I believe it is.

Exactly two weeks away from official pub date of *Frost Will Come*...I had the rare pleasure of entering the alternate universe of Mary Ann Killilea's vast dahlia gardens. Teaching me lessons in all that really matters, and feeling my mom, Rosemary, right alongside me. by @maryhats

“…a book simultaneously and almost dizzyingly alert to the intricate links between life and death.”

First pre-pub interview! Here, I’m the lucky beneficiary of Philip Graham’s keen ear, kind heart and generosity. Thank you, Philip, for engaging with me and with *Frost Will Come* for *3 Quarks Daily*.

“When it comes down to it, I like to think of *Frost Will Come* as a book that puts us in touch with care in a period in world history where harm more often seems the order of the day.”

In case you're not in the loop: YES, the incomparable ALISON BECHDEL will be at URI tomorrow, 10/9! Arrive at 4:30 to peruse the DTWOF ephemera. Parking is free and easy. For those of you who never leave Providence's East Side, the University of Rhode Island is in a different part of the State. Yes, you have to get on the highway and head south for 27 mins. Can't wait! by @maryhats

Don't be distracted by Halloween! My pub date book launch event @riffraffpvd is just a few weeks away. Here's the full slate for Oct/Nov. I hope you'll find me wherever you live.

Pre-orders are now shipping!

More advance praise from the great Maria Tumarkin and the great Carole Maso:

“Reading Mary Cappello, I feel the physical location of my heart move. It doesn’t sit back in my chest anymore but has edged forward, closer to the world. This rearrangement only happens on those rarest of occasions when the reader says to the author, ‘The way you write, think, look, live. . . . I trust you with my life.'” – Maria Tumarkin, author of *Axiomatic*

“A beautiful and devastating work, darkly illuminating, filled with wisdom and sorrow and wonder. Palpable grief and love infuse every page. Cappello is our perfect guide as she traverses with fortitude and grace this most sacred terrain. A devotion like no other. Exceptional.” – Carole Maso author of *Mother and Child: A Novel* by @maryhats

Just starting to crack open my mom's literary archive...this from a folder from the '70s labeled "rejections." Forty-two years later, at age 84, Rosemary published her first full collection of poems outside of chapbooks with Bordighera Press. by @maryhats
