My chapbook, Lovejoy, has just been published by James Yeary and his new project c_L press! It has a snazzy letterpress cover and nifty endpages that suggest the work in progress. It is on the shelves at Powell's and Reading Frenzy.
Lovejoy is about one of my favorite bits of Portland history - the Lovejoy columns. In which the columns supporting a viaduct to the Broadway Bridge were painted with fanciful illustrations in the 40s by a railroad watchman who was also an artist. In which the columns hang around without much damage for about half a century. In which the old railyards make way for snazzy new artsy shopping district, and the viaduct and columns go down. I posted about it once.
Lovejoy the chapbook is part research project, part poetry, part text collage.
Daniel Thomas-Glass wrote a 30-word review of it!
