I also heard from Dale Speirs. (Opuntia 64.1C)
plus: I went across the street yesterday to return a couple books (Drumbolis' "Millenial Report" & derek's thesis) & to actually buy a book or three! well, chapbooks i guess:
No press is thrilled to announce the publication
of a suite of chapbooks of conceptual writing
by ROB FITTERMAN and NAYLAND BLAKE
*
THE SUN ALSO ALSO RISES by ROB FITTERMAN
(36 pp, sewn binding, full-colour covers)
When I was 13, my brother gave me a copy of Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. It was my first foray into real Literature and I hated it. Even with little or no way to enter the novel, I dutifully slugged through it (I mean, what is cog-nak anyway?) Years later, I have returned to revisit the relationship. In this version, I have erased my way through Hemingway’s original text, leaving behind only the phrases that begin with the pronoun ‘I.’ — Rob Fitterman
*
MY SUN ALSO RISES by ROB FITTERMAN
(36 pp, sewn binding, full-colour covers)
My Sun Also Rises is a parallel companion to the The Sun Also Also Rises which translates my erased version of the Hemingway original into my own experience of moving to downtown Manhattan in 1981. — Rob Fitterman
*
ALSO ALSO ALSO RISES THE SUN by NAYLAND BLAKE
(48 pp, sewn binding, full-colour covers)
In November 2007, I was invited to perform in the kgb Bar Reading Series. Having just completed the two Hemingway pieces, I was eager to perform them, but I needed a second voice, a Hemingway. Happily, Nayland Blake agreed to read the Hemingway part, and we alternated chapters. In the process of rehearsing and thinking about this project, Nayland suggested that he might write his own version. His text, Also Also Also Rises The Sun—a beautiful, minimalist version—further opens the possibilities for reading the piece and for dispelling the authority of the “original.” — Rob Fitterman
*
Produced in editions of 60 copies, these 3 chapbooks are available only in tandem with each-other (in numbered editions) for $25 (postage included).
For ordering information, please contact derek beaulieu at derek@housepress.ca
*
Flanked between Shell Oil and Mobile Oil gas stations, Robert Fitterman was born in 1959 in Creve Coeur, Missouri—a rinky-dink suburb of St. Louis. Several of his books are collaborations with visual artists, including war, the musical with Dirk Rowntree. He lives in NYC with poet Kim Rosenfield and their daughter Coco. He teaches writing and poetry at NYU.
Nayland Blake is an artist, curator, educator, writer and investigator who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His work is represented by Matthew Marks Gallery New York, Fred London, Gallery Paule Anglim San Francisco. Since 2001 Blake has been the Chair of the International Center of Photography / Bard Masters Program in Advanced Photographic Studies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
derek also threw in a copy of his own "How to Edit" (Chapter A) the beginning of "an exhaustive record of every incidence of the word "edit" in the over 1100 different English-language texts stored at Project Gutenberg" (yikes!)
derek also let me make off with issue 21 of Carousel LINK (which has work by Billy Mavreas, Jason McLean, Mark Laliberte & plenty more!) & a couple of buttons from the POPNOIR series: LINK (of particular interest (to me anyway) is #17: gustave morin!
