Creature Press at ETERNiDAY: Books, Broadsides, a Reading, a Panel

In case you're able to make it to the Queens Museum in Flushing this Saturday, Creature Press will be part of the ETERNiDAY event in three ways: 1) books and new broadsides for sale as part of the book fair, 2)  a reading that includes Cassandra Gillig, whose work appears on the new CP broadsides, and 3) a panel discussion on "alternative forms" of publication for poets, writers, and artists.

March 5: ETERNiDAY, The Queens Poet Lore Festival!

I can't believe that I get to be a part of this insane event (browse the schedule/roster via the link below!). Please come visit if you can. Look for Creature Press as part of the book fair, and look for a couple CP poets to read, too.

I'll have some Box-books, some copies of Absolute Hist, some ephemera, and some brand new broadsides! Official announcement on those very soon, but here's a peek at one of the sheets in its lovely-raw state:

Two More Fel Santos Recordings (See Previous Post)

Forthcoming, 2015: Fel Santos, All Convulsions

Creature Press is thrilled to announce its first venture into full-length projects. Sometime next year, we will be publishing Fel Santos' book All Convulsions. Santos is a dynamic sound poet from Woodside, NYC (a neighborhood in Queens), so it will be exciting to see how he "translates" his work into page-based book-form.

Here is a sample of Santos' work, a recent collaboration with electronic artist David Mason:

The Slumbering Creature Stirs, Cracks an Eye

Creature Press has been hibernating, but the weather's giving way, and there are things that need to be foraged for and also fashioned. Please stay tuned for news and new projects, all coming soon but in staggered, staggering steps. "Keep your ears peeled," as they say around these parts.
