Amy England's
For The Reckless Sleeper

What if your dreams could be given a material life of their own? What if your recollections of them were so vivid that, more than just recounting their logic, you could transcribe them visually for your reader?

That’s precisely what poet Amy England does in this stunning text and image collection. Her collages and dioramas are constructed from fabric and paper scraps, from the debris of conscious life. In this subconscious geography, we travel through the nightmares of the political, the paranoia of the responsible, and the tragedy of the critically aware.

Often also charmingly funny, Amy England is
the most lucid of dreamers.

 
 

Amy England has a B.A. from Brandeis University, an M.A. from University of Illinois at Chicago and a Ph.D. from the University of Denver. She is the author of two books of poetry: The Flute Ship Castricum, and Victory and Her Opposites: A Guide (illustrated by Mary Olson and Karen Andrews). Both books are published by Tupelo Press. She lives in Rogers Park in Chicago and teaches in the creative writing program at the School of the Art Institute.

Frank Rogaczewski's
The Fate of Humanity in Verse


 
now available

$14
(includes Shipping & Handling)


Straight from the near west suburbs of Sandburgland, Frank Rogaczewski explodes the less than brave new world we’ve unfortunately arrived at. The Fate of Humanity in Verse sears through the vast gaps of capitalism and pop culture in multi-page paragraphs of pure invention. It is quite simply, to borrow two of Rogaczewski’s titles, an “Arse Poetica” for “The Day They Outsourced America.”

— Mark Nowak

There is an uncanny sense of play in Frank Rogaczewski’s poetry and a quick, speculative intelligence that holds nothing to be either sacred or uninteresting. Movies, philosophy, television, literature, literary theory, comics, and classic rock, they’re all engaged here, banked and bangled into each other like balls in a three-dimensional billiards game.

— Michael Anania


Frank Rogaczewski holds a Ph.D. in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Illinois at Chicago and teaches in the MFA Program at Roosevelt University in Chciago. He lives in Berwyn with his wife Beverly Stewart. They are at this very minute walking their dogs—Jasmine and Seamus.
