“But I fell asleep with these glasses on./ One who runs out of stairs// arrives in Heaven. ”

// from "World Premiere"

The poems gathered into this sheaf seem like loose pages fallen out of the printed scripts of five different plays. What is common to each performance is the player bringing the lines to life. Contents: “This Life Denies Us”; “Eating Verse”; “Thanks-Giving In The Theatrechurch”; “Paradox”; and “World Premiere.”

About this chapbook series:

These bite-sized booklets are a mouthful of literature each, intended to be read in a single sitting. When you’re done with one, pass it along! Look for them lying around in Boston, Portland, or New York City. When you see one waiting to be read, go ahead and pick it up. Give it a home in your hands for a ten-minute lit snack. Then when you’re finished, leave it behind for the next person to find, in an ATM lobby, on a train station bench, in the coffeeshop, at the pub.

To request a single copy of any chapbook in the series, or a set of copies in bulk quantity so you can pepper them around your neighborhood, just contact the Pen & Anvil Press and we can put a plan together to mail some over to you. You can reach us via the good folks at the Boston Poetry Union, at 139 Mt. Vernon Street, Fitchburg MA 01420. If you don’t have a stamp, feel free to send us an email.
