Finishing Line Press is proud to announce the publication of

WakeBreatheMove, a new collection of poems by Christina M. Rau, explores the emptiness of interactions between people and places. 

“In the shocked quiet following a break-up, Rau hooks a seismometer to the slow churn of recovery: she records the waking-breathing-moving, yes - but also planting, aiming, eating. Our speaker, like the ship's anchor she describes, does triumph, ‘shows that settling in is not/ the same as wasting away.’ Come for Rau's stark, deafening winter; stay for her vibrant, glimmering spring.”   

--Amy King, author of I Want to Make You Safe, 2015 recipient of   the Women’s National Book Association Award

Christina M. Rau is the founder of Poets In Nassau, a reading circuit on Long Island, NY.  She is the author of the poetry chapbook, For The Girls, I (Dancing Girl Press, 2014) and has been published in various journals, most recently in Technoculture, Crony, and Redheaded Stepchild. Her poetry has also appeared on gallery walls in The Ekphrastic Poster Show and on car magnets for The Living Poetry Project. She also writes reviews for Fjords Review about new poetry collections. She teaches English at Nassau Community College where she also serves as Editor for The Nassau Review and Coordinator of the Creative Writing Project.  She earned her MFA in Creative Writing at LIU Southampton, her MA in English and Creative Writing at Hofstra, and her BS in English at SUNY Oneonta, and the best poetry class she’s ever taken is UPenn’s Modern & Contemporary American Poetry (ModPo) through Coursera, for which she now serves as a Community TA .  She tweets on Twitter, pins on Pinterest, reposts on Tumblr, reviews on Goodreads, yowls on Yelp, and updates on Facebook.  In her non-writing life, she teaches yoga occasionally and line dances on other occasions.
