Lection is out
Lection, the latest Subday Press offering, is out. Author Scott Inguito read from it @ the semi-annual SPD Open House on Saturday, and last night John Sullivan, our long-suffering web-designer, launched the Lection page. Check it here. Lection is a tasty, thought-provoking and pocket-size morsel, and its available on the cheap - I hope you'll check it out. Teresa Sparks will be reviewing it in the upcoming American Book Review (Feb/Mar, methinks). But don't wait.
Speaking of ABR, I just sent them my first review, of Sara Larsen's doubly circ. Ganglia crossed.
As for me, I'm listening to funk on the college radio station and I'm a little too stinky for comfort, so its a pre-shower blog moment, friends.
Final note of hot gossip: Sean MacInnes has made a brilliant and intimate batch of short videos while down in FL for his Kerouac House residency. These films are worth seeing - they are lyric, nightmarish, gauzy, silent, celebratory and a little wobbly. The ghost of ol Stan Brakhage floats thru. They are deeply felt and oddly touching too, and they speak of the goddamn wonder of sight (check out Derek Jarman's Blue if you forgot about that). He can send them out on VHS tapes, I am not sure if he can do DVDs. We can work on it. Email him here if you are curious - and with a little luck and a few dollars donation, you too will learn about benches, branches, cockroaches, and sprinkler jets.
And if he doesn't, let me know and I'll make you a pirate copy.

these streets love traffic - glad you had a sec, scott. once paypal's up, we hope to really hum.
I'm thinking more like May for the review.
Sean adds the following note as to how the videos were made:
I was tied to an extension cord
for power and had to do all the editing in-camera, meaning watch bits on tv and then record over them if I didn't like, and also dealing with black and white
viewfinder on camera and filming in color, difficult knowing what to expect.
Given the tough circumstances, and the next to no control and flexibility, Sean's done some fascinating work. The limits appear to have helped streamline the work's focus and intensity, which is technically rough, but totally palpable.
