dumbfoundry: August 2010

"The thunderst[r]uck core of this book would be the poem “Four Skin Confessions”, and the divagations on same, by the curators of this project. The divagations are in fact conversations on the process. One feels genuine weight in the matter. The poem is thoughtfully executed."

Ernesto Priego:

"...the poem took a life of its own, also so to speak, and the most beautiful and uncanny thing, when I was reading it all out loud even before we had finished it, was realizing that I no longer remembered which parts I had written and what parts had been written by whom."

SPECIAL RELEASE OFFER: the book will be offered at US$10 per book (you can order as many as you wish) through September 30, 2010. Free domestic shipping is also available within the U.S.

Available here. More info here.

My James Baldwin

Honorée Fanonne Jeffers:

"A few months later, Lucille Clifton chose The Gospel of Barbecue as the winner of the 1999 Wick Poetry Prize, and it was published that next year. In a way, I always think Mr. Baldwin had something to do with that. Or maybe not, but I still talk to spirits, just in case."
