603. We chat with Lenore Weiss about her novel, Pulp into Paper, which “is about the struggle of Arkansas and Louisiana mill
workers to tell the truth about what is happening in their work and
personal lives. The book mirrors the choices we make between earning a
living and our ethical values, but is sympathetic to all characters on
either side of the environmental divide.” Pulp into Paper is an engaging,
disturbing and sometimes humorous novel exposing a calcified network of
corruption between a company (Rand-Atlantic) and the government (EPA) in
a small Southern town where "the stink [is] the smell of money."
Weiss's talent for detail is extraordinary as she takes us into the
homes, sandwich shops and hydrogen-sulfide infested creeks of East
Hentsbury with its unforgettable cast of characters." (Campbell). Lenore Weiss is enrolled in
the Master of Fine Arts Program at San Francisco State University. Her
poetry has been published in many journals  Her books include Cutting
Down the Last Tree on Easter Island (West End Press, 2012) , Two Places
(Kelsay Books, 2014), and Mortal forthcoming in 2016 from Black Cat Moon
Press. (Basmati.com).
