Managing Editor's Book on Sale!

It is an exciting day for all of us here at Perigee. After years of hard work scraping together verbs and nouns, exhaustive revision, days of doubt and days of frustration, Traveling Sitting Still is now available for the world's book shelves.

In his first collection of short stories, Perigee's Managing Editor breaks new ground and re-frames familiar motifs. Whether it's a wounded American GI forced to dig his own grave during World War II, a lonely germ-phobic stuck on an entrance ramp in Los Angeles, or a man headed for divorce finding solace in a Chiquita banana sticker, the compelling voices in Traveling Sitting Still heal many of the wounds their stories examine.

"Traveling Sitting Still is a superb collection of short stories, far superior to anything I have read by a young writer. This collection reflects an unusual combination of writing and storytelling talents. By shedding new light and insights into commonplace occurrences, many of these stories elevate everyday events and experiences to the level of high literary art. Other stories in the collection do likewise with more profound human tragedies that cast an uncompromising light on the terrible things human beings knowingly and unknowingly do to one another, while simultaneously reminding us that the roles of victim and oppressor can be easily reversed."

- Dennis M Clausen, author of Prairie Son.

Perigee Expands to St. Louis!

Beginning with our July 15th issue, Perigee will officially be located in two US cities: San Diego and St. Louis. Our managing editor, Robert Woerheide, is relocating to the gateway city this summer, where he will raise a family alongside the muddy Mississippi.

Perigee has already begun making contacts in the literary community in St. Louis and it seems inevitable that the staff will expand to include members from the Midwest. Of course our San Diego editors—Jensea Storie, Sue Fellows—and our reader Sara Goetze, will hold down the San Diego end of things.

This is an important step for Perigee and it's one that we consider full of potential. By expanding the local reach of Perigee, we can continue to develop the publication and bring you the kind of writing you can't get enough of.

Cheers!
