The Glass Cabin Filled with Poems

Pulley Press is thrilled to announce that we’ve signed a contract with Tina Mozelle Braziel and James Braziel for a book on The Glass Cabin, a home built by hand in Remlap, Alabama.

Tina and Jim’ blog, Glass Cabin Diary, details the home that the duo has been building for the last couple of years. A good deal of the materials are salvage: decommissioned utility poles, cedars cut away from powerlines, rusted tin, and re-used windows.

Pulley is looking forward to the poems and bits of prose that will create this cabin in book form and the expected publication date is in 2024.

Tina, a poet, is the author of of Known by Salt, winner of the Philip Levine Poetry Prize (Anhinga Press), and a chapbook, Rooted by Thirst (Porkbelly Press). She writes about rivers, growing up in a trailer park, and raising tadpoles and bees. Both collections feature poems about building the glass cabin. You can find out more about her poetry and essays at tinamozellebraziel.com.

Jim Braziel is the author of the story collection, This Ditch-Walking Love, and winner of the Tartt First Fiction Award (Livingston Press). Ditch-Walking is about the people and the land of the Cumberland Plateau in Alabama. He is the author of two novels about a future environmental disaster in the Southern US—Birmingham, 35 Miles, and Snakeskin Road (Bantam). You can reach him at southverve AT jamesbraziel DOT com.
