TARPAULIN SKY PRESS IS HIRING

a note from Tarpaulin Sky:

TARPAULIN SKY PRESS IS HIRING

No pay--aside from fame and free books. Start immediately.

Over the next couple weeks, Tarpaulin Sky Press will be filling
a variety of editorial and production positions. If you are
interested in working for us, please email Christian Peet
& Editors at newstaff[AT]tarpaulinsky[DOT]com, and let us know
your experiences with (or your desire to be part of) Tarpaulin
Sky Press and the small press community as a whole.

Please understand that we would be delighted for you to read
submissions, but also that we consider reading submissions to be
"the fun part" of editing, and that editors at TSky have many
other responsibilities. Also, while ambition will serve as a
fine substitute for experience in several positions at TSky
Press, we are also looking specifically for people with
experience in one or more of the following areas: web design,
book design, event coordination, marketing and promotion.

It is not necessary to send a resume/CV--a letter will do fine--
but we will happily peruse anything you send.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Christian Peet & Co.
Tarpaulin Sky Press

Chapbook Submissions - Avoiding the Internet (Tarpaulin Sky)

Christian Peet's a wise man--- he's been avoiding the internet.... But he ventured on today to remind people that the deadline for chapbook submissions to Tarpaulin Sky is Aug 31. See Christian's post for more info.

Christian Peet- Ringing (Crayons and Handwriting)

Over at his blog Christian Peet says a bunch of nice things about how Ringing looks and works.


To see what Christian has to say go here

Christian ends his post with

"Note: This award recognizes excellence in interface design. For a discussion of the merits of Rauan Klassnik's texts, art, or handwriting, please start your own."

Handwriting?----
------>>As the Dutch say "I have delicious handwriting." (ha ha)

On a related note, Christian's new book Big American Trip is available now.

Here's the description at SPD:

"Poetry. Assuming the form of postcards authored by an "alien" of unknown nationality, ethnicity, and gender, addressing a variety of people and organizations (political figures, multinational corporations, people in public toilets, et al), BIG AMERICAN TRIP is a startling document of fear and loneliness in the 21st century U.S. Whether deconstructing road signs, a failed relationship, or the state of contemporary poetry, the voice behind these texts is at once familiar and strange, determined to be free, and desperate to communicate with anyone who has ever felt at odds with the Language of a Nation. Christian Peet is the author of THE NINES and the publisher of Tarpaulin Sky Press."

Disclaimers:

I like crayons but I think I'm pulling a Rimbaud on them.

I have no idea what Christian's handwriting is. But, I'm guessing it is not "delicious" !!!
