Other Media & Formats

6x6, no. 16, Ugly Duckling Presse, Brooklyn, 2008. Includes Ossian Foley, Gretchen Primack, Anthony Madrid, Amanda Deutch, John High, Heather Christle. Little mag with its upper outer corner cut off. Usually bound by a rubber band, this one has a saddle staple to keep it together as well, as well as the band.

Author uncertain (John Martone? Bob Arnold?), Chú Dár Bí, Ordinary Fool, Charleston , IL 2008. Single sheet folded quarto style with 9 color photographs on it, 5 of the envelope in which it came set into “natural” settings, 4 of tiny words typed & cut into minuscule slips that are sprinkled into the “book” – I didn’t notice the latter until I stood up and they snowed from my lap onto the floor. I’m guessing on the second word of the title.

Cabinet of Natural Curiosities, Searchlight Needles, For Arbors, New York, Missoula & San Francisco 2008, CD, Jasmine Dreame Wagner’s very good alt folk/anti-folk band

Whit Griffin, Wanhope, Longhouse, Green River, Vermont 2008. Two page book, pages being 4.25” by 11” that unfold from a purple 4.5” by 3” cover, with title text on a paper ribbon that binds almost too tightly together.

Anne Waldman, Akilah Oliver, Ambrose Bye, Matching Half, Farfalla Press / MacMillan and Parrish, Brooklyn, 2008, CD.
