The excellent Quarter Conversation has published a review of Ray by the excellent Matt Tiffany!

The fall 2009 issue of Rain Taxi contains, among many other fine things, a review I did of Keith Waldrop's terrific translation of Baudelaire's Paris Spleen.

An interview I did with Matt Bell at The Collagist in which I say, among other things, "I'm not sure just before and just after a book comes out is the best time for me to be trying to deal seriously with the problems of other projects, but I seem to be under the sway of what Blanchot calls the "tyrannical prehension" – I can't stop my fingers from moving toward the keyboard. Maybe someone ought to take said keyboard away from me."

Here is a playlist I did for David Gutowski's Largeheartedboy.

Vall Killpack has posted a very interesting essay on The Exquisite and Steve Erickson's Zeroville on his blog.

A great review of Buntport Theater's Indiana, Indiana appears in today's Denver Post.

An interview I did with the very agreeable Drew Toal is up at HTMLGIANT.  Note the loud shout at the start to Brian Evenson's Fugue State!

I have a short interview over on Ravi Mangla's Recommended Reading.

Two short dramatic treatments of Ray of the Star by Paul Ketchum!

If you've already read Ray or are still wondering whether to pick up a copy, you could do worse than to check out Paul Ketchum's dramatic adaptations.  To that end I'm reposting them.  And the offer still stands: Anyone moved to make either of these into a video will receive miscellaneous small, nifty things and have her/his finished work featured on this site.  Enjoy…

Ray of the Star: Brief Dramatic Treatment #1

Note: In...

Ray is officially out and hopefully about starting today.
