Baker Artist Awards, almost the entire Narrow House catalogue

Over eight great years, most of which with Jamie GP and Lauren Bender. A nod of respect goes to Andrew Miller for the brilliant recording of Rod Smith's Fear the Sky - one of the best albums of poetry I know of.

Here's a sneak peak at the contributors and the first draft of the cover.

ie Reader (submissions)

A screen shot of my inbox -- Michael Ball just bombarded me with submissions. The ie reading series might be on hiatus, but the ie reader (Narrow House 2008) will the language defibrillator.

Some back-story: Narrow House received a Baltimore Office for Promotions and the Arts grant to publish the ie Reader, a comprehensive collection of nearly all the poets involved in the series over the past three years. It’s going to be one hell of a book.

Best Whatever it Is

There Were One and It was Two: Annotated Artifacts from the Doubles Museum, by Ric Royer

Nothing is ever what it appears to be in the performance art of Ric Royer. An expert in using a casual observation to turn an otherwise quotidian anecdote into a rabbit-hole digression into the uncanny, Royer applied his curiously perceptive mind to the genuinely odd for his Narrow House recording debut: the idea of doubling as it appears in both intellectual history and nature. And what he concocts is one of the most unusual artifacts to come out of Baltimore--no stranger to the outlandish--in some time. Part faux lecture performance, part experimental text, part spoken-word recording, and part experiential sound art (thanks to the sax noises of John Berndt on the CD), There Was One and It Was Two is and isn't a sound recording of a performance event, is and isn't an aural accompaniment to written text, is and isn't a visual artifact of a wild-hair idea. It's all of these and none of them, and somehow still manages to hold the attention throughout its meandering ride.
