Kirby Gann - Böcker

A collection of poetry, fiction, and essay where language isn’t strictly functional but comes at the world in its most intense states—in reverie, in revelry, in fine excess; writers who must have, as Paul West once termed it, the world written up. These are minds unavoidably alive on the page. And there they move freely, in particular musical fashion, often making unlikely connections, sometimes jutting their sentences into odd and disproportionate rhythms, creating a vivid, sensory whole.Marketing plans:o Advertisements in writer’s magazineso Large brochure and postcard mailingsA Fine Excess is the second title to be included in Sarabande’s new series, The Writer’s Studio, which features books that challenge, stimulate, and support the writer of poetry and short fiction.Kirby Gann is the Managing Editor at Sarabande Books.
