A collection of both published and unpublished poems, correspondence and prose should come out shortly after the first collection of unpublished correspondence. Here's hoping.
New Ecco paperback covers (July 2014) and new collections (July 2015)

Good to hear about the new poetry coming out. I was wondering whether the stash was exhausted. I read a late interview (2010) with Carl Weissner the other day in which he suggested that all of Buk's stuff had been published.
As to Ecco, I quite like the reprints and new books that this company is putting out. I like the feel of the books. I reach for them over the Black Sparrow versions. They're more bendable than the Black Sparrow editions. And because of that, they feel more like pulp books that I'm not worried about bending the backs of as I read them.

I love the books of correspondence.

The result of printing them on shit paper.

My thoughts exactly. I know BSP books are printed on a better paper but I like the books to be easy to handle & read. I have only one paperback BSP edition of Reach for the Sun and it looks great but it's so stiff and (was) hard to open and underline (I like to underline the great parts with pencil). Ecco books paper is thinner and of poorer quality but they're much easier to handle (and underline) while reading and I buy books to read in the first place.

Title is wrong, tho. It'll be "On Writing." And the bio is full of inaccuracies that will be corrected.
The cover should be up soon, I think.

Thats always been the convention age given in every short Buk Bio. Hard to un-ring a lot of bells.
August 27.
Why not the 16th. Oh well, they sell anyway.

Shit my brain didn't even make the connection on the editor... I'm now actually more excited.
I don't dig the cover, but it's the content that matters. So props to Abel and all involved. Of course, I may be dead by August.
It's 224p. and it's out tomorrow.
There's some events in August, as well.

Ah, something to read on vacation next week...AND I only just got my hands on Dangling too. Mockingbird, Condition & Night Torn are the only poetry collections I don't have. The completeist in me wants them. The realist in me says to not go there now that I've learned my lesson in re John Martin.
Mockingbird is from '72 and is an essential collection that bridges The Days Run Away with the older and '74 content in Burning in Water. Don't skip that one.
Burning is great. I've got very little Buk on me but I think Burning is where he pays homage to the Webbs in his introduction.
I also love Roominghouse Madrigals, that's a great selection of stuff.
