Falling Backwards into the World by Stephen Dunn (2012)


 Falling Backwards into the World 

Stephen Dunn

Jane Street Press

New York City

I am always intrigued when beginning to research a recently found book and realize that there are rabbit holes leading to rabbit holes leading to hours of possible reviewing and investigating when all I wanted to say was "small formatted staple-bound chapbook from a previously unknown press". 

And yet, that is no longer sufficient to say because I do know more. Jane Street Press began in the early aughts as the brainchild of poet Douglas Goetsch. Several of the first books published by this press were collections of his work. If you go the website for this press you will find a link to his personal website. Don't bother clicking, the link is no longer up. Dead end. 

But this is a fine small collection of Stephen Dunn's work. For a Dunn completist, it's worth getting.
