The Back Room: An Anthology

by Matthew Stadler (Editor)

Cultural Writing. Poetry. Essays. THE BACK ROOM is an occasional series of presentations/symposia/bacchanals in Portland, Oregon, replete with food, drink, music, and general boisterousness garlanding the central pleasure of bright intellects voicing their excellent texts, winging it in conversation, and screening or presenting various textual and visual delights. Including work by Dodie Bellamy, Kevin Killian, Moira Roth, Lisa Robertson, and many more. This collection is meant to inspire and inform copycat efforts in other cities.

496 pages, Paperback

This beautiful 495 page anthology is TERRIFIC! And it contains one of my all-time favorite essays by Dodie Bellamy, "Digging through Kathy Acker's Stuff." Other writings by Kevin Killian, Gore Vidal and others.
