Review of ROUTE by Julia Cohen and Mathias Svalina

Joshua Ware has a thoughtful review of ROUTE on his blog. Thanks so much, Josh!

ROUTE by Julia Cohen and Mathias Svalina now available online!

Immaculate Disciples Press is pleased to announce the publication of Route by Julia Cohen and Mathias Svalina.

Route is a split collaborative chapbook by Julia Cohen and Mathias Svalina containing two inter-related poetry sequences – Black Metal & Ice and Two Sisters. The first follows what an expedition through a desolate polar landscape that has no apparent purpose. The second follows two sisters who are alternately playing and on the run from mysterious scientists intent on experimenting on them. Both sequences in Route address irrational male desire masquerading as scientific pursuit with a language and logic that is at once like a fairy tale and bad dream.

Cover is a silkscreen designed by Joseph Lappie and printed by Caitlin Wheeler.

Available for purchase for $12 - no shipping fees added! If you are in NYC from 3/28-3/30, you can pick it up at the CUNY Grad Center chapbook festival.

Review of PARENTS in Spring 2011 Issue of Rain Taxi

Noah Eli Gordon has a thoughtful review of PARENTS in the Spring 2011 issue of Rain Taxi (the print version).

Writing in the Chapbook Corner section, Gordon says, among other things, that "Parents is at its core a kind of darkly comic fairly tale cloaked in a sequence of narrative poems, which reject the clarity of event on expects from a narrative through a consistently shifting of consciousness, and a murky, amorphous articulation of action."

Definitely check it out.

Also, here's a great pic of the chapbook window display at the CUNY Graduate Center, taken during the Chapbook Festival earlier this month. Props to Hitomi Yoshio for the fine pic.

See us at the CUNY Chapfest this week!

Immaculate Disciples Press has a table at the Third Annual CUNY Chapbook Festival! The book fair is Thursday (3/3) and Friday (3/4) between Noon - 7pm. Lots of awesome panels are happening as well.

We'll be selling copies of Farrah Field's Parents, Sampson Starkweather's The Heart is Green from So Much Waiting, the Matt Bollinger/Dan Magers drawing/poem collaboration Passion, as well as the baby broadsides the artist Joseph Lappie created for Sink Review.

All of this and more at 365 Fifth Avenue, the lobby of Elebash Recital Hall.
