sybil from press

November 10th, 2008

sybil unrest, my collaborative long poem with Rita Wong, has just come back from the printers! I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m pretty excited. Much gratitude to Michael Barnholden of the newly formed Line Books, for his hard work and constant faith in this project. We had a lot of support from the good folks at The Kootenay School of Writing, and from Aaron Vidaver and David Fujino, whose collaborative long poem performance at KSW several years ago was a catalytic inspiration.
