Julie Carr, Eleni Sikelianos + squirrels
Babes and bots, Fall! Fall is happening! It's frigid when I bike to school every morning and I think the bones in my hands will push themselves out of their flesh. I am tired and stressed and everything is a bit harder because it's darker now. And that's okay I think. In checking out the speakers at the two events this week, I found Counterath Press and came across a fellow blogger ! Jose Antonio Villarán's book, Open Pit , is out with Counterpath Press and was nominated for the Northern California Book Award. How cool! And one of the founders of Counterpath Press came to CSU. How cool! Her name is Julie Carr. This amazing organization has a weekly food bank, community garden, and exhibition space, AND they publish books. I think sometimes I forget that there are other presses, sometimes more interesting and compelling presses, that do cool work that doesn't get eaten up by the institution or revered prizes, work that is wild and non-normative and big. I love that...
