The Press seems to have been a labor of love for Rick & Rosemary Ardinger who served as editors for the Press and therefore for this handsome chapbook. A mere 7 poems but one can almost taste the air with them.
The poet ought not be confused with the poet Keith S. Wilson.

I have had this one for a bit and it was lost in the stacks. It's neither a chapbook nor strictly speaking a mimeo but I wanted to mention its existence so - here tis. It's a coffee table book sized specially printed paperback. Apparently there was a fancier and more expensive hardcover of this book, but this isn't that. If one is familiar with the man - this one is clearly for you.

#32 of 300 printed. Inscribed and signed inside front. The book is actually thicker than it might have otherwise been since every other page is empty except for copy of the cover image on it. Odd decision.

This 20 page booklet is an essay that was first given as a talk at the Painted Bride in Philadelphia in June 1989. Interesting subject matter.

This is a DC poet making his work known early on, Staple bound. Designed by Melanie Henderson, another incredibly talented DC artist. Worth the read, and the finding.

The introduction to this tiny collection by Chris Abani is brilliant in its own right. The first poem for me that excited my poetry taste buds is the poem "Clue". Every poem in this 23 page collection is brilliant. Oh my god even!

I am as impressed the artwork, Apart Accordion, (2012) by Todd McClellan as I am by the poetry in this fine little collection. Track this one down and read it !

This chapbook has local flavor with all the scents creating a bouquet good enough to consume. If, of course, one knew the area being described. It's a labor of love from someone who loved the land and the labor and the town and its people.

Very thin collection. Another collection of poetry looking back at a life lived.

Narrative personal poetry collection. Nothing wrong with the poems at all but I am weary of all the "first personal singular" throughout. Also, I am not certain that all animals do want the same things.
