In addition, there will be a selection of new poetry titles from Lost Horse and Lynx House, two publishers now distributed by WSU Press, along with a new distributed title, Seattle Neon, a book of Matt Hucke’s photographs capturing the city’s brilliant, whimsical, outlandish, and downright spectacular signs.
