description: Joan Logghe's enthusiasm for poetry is reflected in her teaching and performance methods. Wife, mother of three children and poetry editor of Mothering Magazine, Joan has enjoyed serving as a New Mexico Artist-in-Residence- working with elders, prisoners, the deaf, and elementary and college students. Recipient of an NEA award for her poetry, Joan is also the author of A Lunch Date With Beallty and Poems From the Russian Room. Her work has appeared widely in a number of small press publications and anthologies. Joan lives in the Espanola valley where many of her poems are rooted and where she continues to offer writing workshops both nationally and locally. Her poems deal with themes of everyday life in a sensuous manner and soar beyond the passions of this world. Jim Sagel is a bilingual poet, essayist and fiction writer whose collection of short stories in Spanish, Tunomds Honey, won the Premio Casa de las Americas, Havana, Cuba in 1981. His wide-ranging work in Spanish and English has won him recognition in both the Hispanic and contemporary Anglo worlds. Mr. Sagel, who teaches writing and bilingual literature, lives in Espanola, New Mexico, with his wife, weaver Teresa Archuleta Sage!. Author of twelve impressive books, Mr. Sagel's eye and ear for the languages of his time have earned him respect and admiration. The Pennywhistle Chapbook Series celebrates a collection of voices both eclectic and exuberant. The series embraces no single school of poetry but introduces the reading public to new work from new voices as well as new work from familiar voices. What binds the poets is their quality of poetic expression, their originality, and their clarity of intent. There are now 18 titles in the series and information may be obtained by writing or calling the press.
