Easter Sunday by Barbara Jane Reyes (2008)

(c) 2008


Back in 2015 I wrote a detailed accounting of this poet and her book printed the same year by Portable Press at Yo-Yo Labs. Reyes had two books out the same year (Cherry). Pretty cool. This one came courtesy of a gentleman at Iowa State who was downsizing his massive chapbook collection (he works in that department and scores of items have ended up in his files over the years). Some of the pieces remind me of the work in Cherry , the chapbook printed by Brenda Iijima's press. Spatially, at least. It would not surprise me at all if the work in both of these 2008 chapbooks were merged in a book with a spine sometime later. 

Good stuff !
