October by Frederic Koeppel (1987)

Ion Books/raccoon 

Memphis, TN

(c)1987


I have been on a bit of a Memphis kick of late. I did get a number of chapbooks from my friend Corey Mesler who runs Burke's Books in Memphis and these were among that bouquet. I had no idea that there was a press called raccoon. Let alone that raccoon seems to have been the chapbook series of Ion Books. When it comes to Memphis, TN publishing community, I am the novice. 

The same David Spicer who I recently wrote about was involved in the cover design of this chapbook. I find it quite handsome. The writing here is quite good as well. Nice work all the way around.
