6/16/2004 - Fractal Edge Press Produces Two Tia Chucha
Press Chapbooks: Last year,
Tia Chucha Press,
the publishing arm of the Guild Complex,
invited submissions for its first
series of chapbooks. Four authors were selected for publication in 2004, and two
of those winners
Mike Puican and Zada Johnson, launched their works with a Guild Complex reading
at the
Chopin Theatre on Wednesday, June
16th. The authors were excited and pleased to see their
new publications in final form for the first time. The design, layout, and
production were managed
by Fractal Edge Press, and the printing was done
Corporate Graphics of America.
Fractal Edge Press will also produce the other two books in the series, the
works of Josie Rainey,
the 2003 Guild Complex Poetry Fellow, and Tony Fitzpatrick, whose amazing
etchings were featured
on the covers of Puican's and Johnson's works.
Here are the Guild Complex blurbs on the two writers:
"Mike Puican has published widely including the journals
Luna, Crab Orchard Review, Another
Chicago Magazine, The Bloomsbury Review and Spoon River Review. He regularly
writes reviews
of poetry for Another Chicago Magazine. He has read his work in numerous Chicago
poetry venues
and on Chicago Public Radio. This publication marks the first chapbook by this
former Slam poet.
"Zada Johnson is a doctoral student in the Department of Anthropology at the
University of Chicago
studying ritual performance in Cuba. She is also artist-in-residence of the
Haraka Writer's Workshop
at Purdue University. Her poetry has been published in Warpland Journal of Black
Literature and Ideas
as well as Creativity Magazine and Esi Anthology of Women Writers."
5/21/2004 - Decades of Rehearsal Published:
Fractal Edge Press finally announces
the publication of Wayne Allen Jones's third book of poetry, Decades of
Rehearsal. It was
available in time for Jones's participation in the open mics at Chicago Coffee
on 5/21 and
Weeds on 5/24, and for his feature at The Café on 5/25. For more information and
ordering,
see the links on the Books and Chapbooks page and
news release.
3/26/2004 - Decades of Rehearsal Goes to the
Printer: Chicago poet and Editor/Publisher of
Fractal Edge Press, Wayne Allen Jones, sent his next book of poems to the
printer today -
publication is expected on April 21st. Jones took Decades of Rehearsal (80
pages) to CGA:
Corporate Graphics of America to CGA's new offices and print shop at 5312 N.
Elston Ave.,
Chicago. The book will be produced very much like the previous collaboration
with CGA:
The A
Poems.
Returning project leader, Hank Goers, explained that instead of having the
matte varnish so many readers have appreciated on the cover of The A
Poems,
the cover
of the new book will be treated with a new aqueous matte finish process that
provides an even
harder finish than the varnish. The part pages of Decades have a
black-and-white photo for
each poem. The price of the new book is $15.00 for single copies. For further
details see the
book description page.
2/18/2003 – Chicago, IL The
A Poems, the first collaborative
project published by Fractal Edge Press,
will be available for sale at the
Borders Bookstore book signing in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The sixty-four
page
book contains twenty-five poems about women in the life of one of the authors,
Bernard W. McCabe –
friends, acquaintances, lovers, daughter, ex-wife. McCabe
wrote the first drafts, and Wayne Allen Jones,
author of Stone Works,
wrote the finished versions. The strength of diction and phrasing, the power of
these
poems is in their ability to bring out the inmost feelings of their
subjects, to make readers experience those
feelings in a breathtakingly
immediate way. The two writers have been accused of stealing these poems
“from a
coin Laundromat while the real author put her damp sheets and towels in a
commercial-sized dryer.”
The price of the book is $10, and will be generally
available as soon as Jones gets the distribution part
of the business in order.
Until then you can order it by sending email to
FEPsales@FractalEdgePress.com.
