Notes on the works of Jonathan Lethem and Roberto Bolano, bad poetry, bad fiction, and why perfectly good, if not great, writers fall victim to their own desperate aspirations for fame and/or recognition.

Taken from Ravenna Press-

Ravenna Press announces a new series: the Ravenna Triples.

The editors and authors at Ravenna have become very interested in the longer form – material too extensive for a magazine or journal submission but not quite long enough to fill a complete book – so have devised the Ravenna Triples: full-size volumes, each containing three substantial clusters of work by some of our favorite writers. To launch the project we will publish this summer, all at once, the first three books in the series:

Triple #1, with fiction by Brandon Hobson, poetry by Alek Lindus, drawings plus a graphic novella by Cooper Renner.

Triple #2, with poetry by M Sarki, Harold Bowes, Kathryn Rantala

Triple #3. with fiction by Kim Chinquee, Daryl Scroggins, Holly Tavel

This is a prime chance to collect a substantial work by a writer you know and at the same time introduce yourself to two other writers you may not yet have discovered.

Look for these three books this summer and subsequent numbers in the series as they develop. Each will be available from independent bookstores and from our website, individually or as multiples.

Called "A Delineated Pilgrimage" the blog of M Sarki is certainly that. Photography, fiction, poetry, film, and journalism abounds. You may joyfully find it here:

I have read some very good books already in the year of 2012. I have been introduced to fantastic writers I cannot say enough good things about. Jenny Erpenbeck is the best. The biographies of Paul Hendrickson are second to none. Robert Walser, when translated by Susan Bernofsky, also cannot be beaten. But for my money the most fun I've had in a very long time, certainly at least in 2012, goes to Lee Klein with this "book" of his that refuses to be pigeon-holed into any genre. I have reviewed it here for those of you interested in finding out why I think so highly of this newly-discovered writer for me, and why we could be friends.
