With a little over a month until the book's official release, now seems like the right time to share this. The special editions of my first novel, Chinese Gucci, are available now. As far as a pitch goes: call it a 21st Century The Catcher in the Rye in Juarez, Mexico, and the kid at the...

As those on my notify list already know, And Turns Still the Sun at Dusk Blood-Red poems from Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon by Christopher Cunningham and Hosho McCreesh, is available for order, and ships early March from Bottle of Smoke Press. It's a companion piece to the two...

I'm sad to report that Doug, who has been publishing since the 60s, and was part of the L.A. poetry scene (same time as Bukowski) died on the 17th. For those who don't know Doug's work, find some...he was the real deal...always pushing, never settling, always strinking out for new artistic...

Which small presses do you look to when looking for a new read? What is it that makes a great small press?

Anyone seen it? Based on the Willy Vlautin book. A little gem of a movie, I say. Well shot, well acted...good stuff. http://themotellifefilm.com/

Okay -- I've put off the bragging for long enough. My drunken opus (approx 350 pgs) is officially available for PRE-SALE over at Artistically Declined Press. BoSP has been tapped to do the hardback & clamshell special editions. It lasts from July 22nd to August 16th. The book is officially...

You know...in big wood type. Maybe a few colors. As a broadside people could frame. In their writing room, for instance. I'm just saying...

...makes some great books. Letterpress covers. Solid writers. My guess is there's a few folks around here who will pick up what these cats are laying down. http://www.blackheathbooks.org.uk/8.html I just bought the new Ridgwell.

Is it just me, or are things like this just impossible to understand? In fact, I don't think I ever want to understand them...

...kicks ass. I've read 2 of his books now--Indonesia and Last Days of the Cross--and they are both fun and engaging reads, about wayward wandering poets and the hand-to-mouth scraping by. If you don't know this guy's work, hunt him down and give it a look. He's easily been my favorite discovery...

For anyone interested, the GPP Reader (from years past) has been reissued as a free eBook on multiple eReading platforms. Lots of familiar faces appear therein. Tell anyone who'll will listen/care. http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/62895

The only thing that could've made the show better for me was a Buk reference somewhere in their 2 seasons. Anyone else seem this show?

I have to say, I've always been curious about dreams. I don't remember them like I used to--and I miss that. I once had a dream where I had a job as a parking lot barker (which I don't think is real) and my job was to get people to park in the spaces my boss owned. It was a typical strip mall...

Richard Krech sent me this link...thought the folks here would enjoy! http://realitystudio.org/bibliographic-bunker/charles-plymell-and-now/archive-of-charles-plymells-the-last-times/

To put it plainly, this is a book I have been waiting 4 years for. McGettrick's first collection...long overdue in my humble opinion...and it looks to be another gorgeous offering from David at sunnyoutside. Not sure if I was first to pre-order or not...but I tried to be! If you don't know his...

A cool project that aims to peddle "literary wares at art events and farmers/flea markets around Indianapolis." Some fiction, some poetry, and some small press magazines...thought you fellow small press enthusiastis might like to check it out. I'm proud to be involved... http://vouchedbooks.com/

I've probably mentioned it before, but I'm a huge fan of Doug Draime's work. A contemporary of Bukowski, in the LA Undergroud scene at the same time...and, better than that, in the same bars in East Hollywood. I think he's a helluva writer and a helluva guy...and his latest, ROCK & ROLL JIZZ by...

A blogtalk radio show, hosted by Lynn Alexander of FULL OF CROW, was kind/foolish enough to feature Harry Calhoun and me, among others. Give a listen if the spirit moves you...or, if you just wanna kill an hour at work... http://www.blogtalkradio.com/lynnalexander

Not sure how many of you are Huff fans, but there's a Austin City Council vote on 22nd April, 2010 wherein they'll decide if a small park will be named after him. Huff was a small press giant, and the fact that we can't yet buy a big, thick book of Huff poems is, I think, a tragedy. You can read...

If this has appeared before--my apologies for a repost. I tried using the search function to find out if it had, but clearly I have no idea what I'm doing...so, anyways, here's a sharp press folks around here might just like... http://www.eatmytangerine.com/index.html

Couldn't tell...too many big words. I think it was a review copy, but I'm not sure. With as annoyed as he seemed by the book supposedly "bestowing immortality", I can't imagine he went out of his way to buy a copy...or pay international shipping, which was a shiny penny as well. Strikes &...

Hey everyone, As some of you already know, Christopher Cunningham & I have a book of our letters coming out via Orange Alert Press in Chicago. The press has made an official pre-release announcement at the following link: http://www.orangealert.net/oapsunlight It will be an edition of 126...

Hello to all you lovers of poems, loose women, fist fights & other assorted salvations! Been reading here on & off for a while now, figured I was long overdue for joining. Not much for selling myself, hopefully the poems do the talking for me. Been publishing in the small press since '99 & am a...
