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 books: 26 lettered hardbacks & 100 trade paperbacks. We've been fortunate to have some mighty talented helping hands which we think will make this project something special--including Sean Lynch of 10pt Press, & your friend & mine, Bill Roberts of Bottle of Smoke Press. Our cover artwork comes from Chris Roberts--who recently designed the cover for Ray Bradbury's A Medicine for Melancholy. If that wasn't enough, a couple fellas from Atlanta's own Noot D'Noot made Chris & I sound real good in front of some pretty badass soundscapes for the CD that accompanies the entire edition. The specifics are further explained below.
All told, we're very excited about this entire thing...& hope you'll give it a look. We'd also like to thank MJP for letting us mention the book here & you all for reading this far!
Cheers everyone,
Hosh
PS - As of this writing we have 3 more hardbacks available!
Hardback Deluxe Version , published in an edition of 26 copies:
Included are:
(1) Lettered (A through Z) hardback version of Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon: The Cunningham/McCreesh Letters, 2002 (Orange Alert Press, 2009); ~232 pp, hand-bound in cloth boards by Bill Roberts of Bottle of Smoke Press, cover artwork by Chris Roberts, with the internals designed by Sean Lynch of 10pt Press. Did we mention it's gonna be absolutely beautiful?
(1) double-sided manuscript broadside -- featuring an original, unpublished poem on each side (one by Cunningham, one by McCreesh). The poems are hand-typed by the authors, on their respective typewriters, on a piece of fine, laid cardstock, autographed and delivered in a mylar sleeve. Poems are based on titles drawn directly from the letters themselves and were written specifically for this project. Until such time as they are collected together (if and when that occurs, if it does), you will own the only published copy of said poems...hence, the "manuscript broadside." Again: no poems are repeated, and NO TWO broadsides are the same.
(1) The Sunlight Tapes compact disc featuring the authors reading a series of excerpts from the letters, backed by a fantastic spectral, experimental score created by The Bimbi Garraux and Dream Sanitation Axis Of Soundscape.
Cost: $26US plus shipping (probably around $3-4US; higher for overseas shipping) (1 per customer please)
Paperback Version, published in an edition of 100:
(1) copy of Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon: The Cunningham/McCreesh Letters, 2002 in paperback,
(1) The Sunlight Tapes compact disc featuring the authors reading a series of excerpts from the letters, backed by a fantastic spectral, experimental score created by The Bimbi Garraux and Dream Sanitation Axis Of Soundscape.
