Notes on the works of Jonathan Lethem and Roberto Bolano, bad poetry, bad fiction, and why perfectly good, if not great, writers fall victim to their own desperate aspirations for fame and/or recognition.

Taken from Ravenna Press-

Ravenna Press announces a new series: the Ravenna Triples.

The editors and authors at Ravenna have become very interested in the longer form – material too extensive for a magazine or journal submission but not quite long enough to fill a complete book – so have devised the Ravenna Triples: full-size volumes, each containing three substantial clusters of work by some of our favorite writers. To launch the project we will publish this summer, all at once, the first three books in the series:

Triple #1, with fiction by Brandon Hobson, poetry by Alek Lindus, drawings plus a graphic novella by Cooper Renner.

Triple #2, with poetry by M Sarki, Harold Bowes, Kathryn Rantala

Triple #3. with fiction by Kim Chinquee, Daryl Scroggins, Holly Tavel

This is a prime chance to collect a substantial work by a writer you know and at the same time introduce yourself to two other writers you may not yet have discovered.

Look for these three books this summer and subsequent numbers in the series as they develop. Each will be available from independent bookstores and from our website, individually or as multiples.

Called "A Delineated Pilgrimage" the blog of M Sarki is certainly that. Photography, fiction, poetry, film, and journalism abounds. You may joyfully find it here:

Triple No. 2 by M. Sarki

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was very pleased with this new number by Ravenna Press. Quality throughout. I am certainly always toughest on myself, but it was surprising to me how well my twenty-nine poems hold up through this included period from 1996 to 2011. In addition, Harold Bowes and Kathryn Rantala have both provided their own poems of the first rank and I am thrilled to share this space with both of them. I wrote a rather lengthy introduction to the section NO ENTRY where my poems may be found, and the longish prose piece serves as a biographical statement about those writers, editors, teachers, lovers, and friends who have helped me along the way in my personal quest to make literary history. And that is not a pretentious statement on my part at all, but rather a position that is necessary to any writer worth his or her salt. It is my hope that the readers here will support the northwestern publishing house that makes these books possible.
