Please don't mind the $8 reading fee--every penny will go to producing beautiful chaps next year!

It’s the little sewing machine that could. It’s ironed and folded and sewn and pulled and the threads stick out. All textile series chapbooks are 5.5″ by 4.25″ with fabric covers scavenged from old curtains, bedsheets and other textile remnants. We  consider it a micro-revolution. A call to action against staples, tape and glue. Coming at you em-dashed, a little wrinkled, and needlessly obscure.

 

Now out from Otoliths: *Densities, Apparitions* by William Allegrezza

80 pages Cover image by Deborah Meadows ISBN: 978-0-9808785-8-5 $13.45 + p&h URL: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/densities-apparitions/17278481 This book explores influence by crossing out or responding to poets who have influenced me. The Whitman and Andrade pieces are cross-outs, and anyone familiar with the first version of C*alamus* will notice that I did not respond to the entire collection. I left out pieces that I did not think would cut well for my project or pieces that have too much personal meaning for me. The response pieces to Leopardi and Neruda are probably even more telling, for in these pieces, it is sometimes difficult to see how the pieces directly relate to the original. Still, the influence is there reworked through my experience. —*William Allegrezza* *William Allegrezza* edits the e-zine *Moria* and teaches at Indiana University Northwest. He has previously published five books, *In the Weaver's Valley*, *Ladders in July*, *Fragile Replacements*, *Collective Instant, *and *Covering Over*; two anthologies, *The City Visible: Chicago Poetry for the New Century **and **La Alteración del Silencio: Poesía Norteamericana Reciente*; seven chapbooks, including *Sonoluminescence*(co-written with Simone Muench) and *Filament Sense* (Ypolita Press); and many poetry reviews, articles, and poems. He founded and curated *series* *A*, a reading series in Chicago, from 2006-2010. In addition, he occasionally posts his thoughts at http://allegrezza.blogspot.com.

 

Now Available: A New Issue of Interim

From Claudia Keelan: "This special issue of Interim collects sui generis work to pose questions and positions relevant to the on going interactions of human beings and what we call the natural world. I am thankful to Chris Arigo, Matthew Cooperman and Jonathan Skinner for the innovative work found here, and I am indebted to the many writers and artists whose continued experiments in artistic expression further the dialogue and expand the possibilities of what is, precariously, our democracy. Here in these pages is a transfigured, yet communal space, countering the transfiguration of an oil rig planted in the ocean floor. You will find here, our legislators."
