The People Look Like Flowers At Last

[jose leitao]

Personally, I don't like the cover either... but to each his own, I guess.

a little birdy just told me that this probably won't be the final posthumous collection. ;) you heard it here first.

 

[cirerita]

as I said, there are at least 2-3 potential books of good poems and another 2-3 of mediocre poems. you heard it here first, too :D

Did the little birdy tell you who the publisher will be? This is the last one in the line Ecco announced, but I suppose that could have changed.

Why stop until the cash cow is milked dry! :\

On the other hand, I want to read everything they'll publish, so I can't complain. There was something comforting about having an end in sight though. Heh. I may have to update that fucking database for the rest of my life... ;)

 

[HenryChinaski]

well I dunno but the birdy said that John Martin just keeps digging up more material. I dunno though.

wouldn't it be great if after ECCO dropped the ball on the past 5, someone else published the FINAL 2, 3, 9, 12 volumes.....? John, it's time to come out of retirement! Your still a YOUNG man...

Remember the good ol' days, nice hardcover sets, quality trade editions with decent paper inside.

 

[HenryChinaski]

ah, the good ol black sparrow days.

p.s. the softcover of come on in is coming out soon.

 

[theeffects]

yeah, great...
cheap production and cheap paper, it's not exactly the same as purchasing LOVE IS A DOG, or MOCKINGBIRD...

I don't hate that cover. It's certainly not as bad as some of the other Ecco covers.

They should have left out that corny human figure, that would have improved it a lot if you ask me...

 

[Rekrab]

Yes, that stylized figure reminds me of civic pride and statues in fountains. It feels way too sunny and optimistic for a Bukowski book.
