Publisher's Synopsis

  • This book follows last year's New Directions book, The Sri Lankan Loxodrome, which has raised Will Alexander's profile considerably.

  • Alexander is very much an avowed surrealist, whose work is known and respected in that community.

  • Being African American, Alexander can also be marketed to some extent as a writer of color (perhaps under the Negritude banner).

  • Alexander is well known to academics and his work has been written on extensively.

  • Blurb confirmed from Jerome Rothenberg. Also pursuing Harriette Mullen, Alden Neilson, Eliot Weinberger, and Clayton Eshleman.
