As you consider sending us your work next week, be aware we hardly sell any books, we have no PR to speak of, we're not fond of hyperbole, we do our best to spend no $$, we don't have connections, we barely get books out on time. All we care about is the work and working on it.

Literature is not representational but incantatory, books are objects that exist much like other objects in your life & home, yet they have additional dimensions, not separate or distant from the ones you occupy, but involuted dimensions only apparent when you reach out to them.
