Happy New Year! Last night we resolved to celebrate (with or without snow) the release of our first chapbook, Victor in the New World, by Chad Reynolds, with illustrations by Robert daVies. We hope you'll help us start 2008 not with a whimper but a bang.
"Chad Reynolds's book of masterful poems about the 'Wild Boy' is even better than Truffaut's film. Brilliant in concept and accomplishment, Victor in the New World is the debut of a great new poet. This is something extraordinary." --Bill Knott
