 New Publication from Arundel Press
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book from Arundel Press. James B. Moore's Swan Dive is a poignant collection of poems from the perspective of a man of a certain age, who, although he has surrendered any expectation of romantic fulfillment, yet retains that last shred of hope... and it is that last shred that makes him vulnerable and this small collection at once so searing and so endearing.
This, the author's first book, is limited to 100 copies signed by the author. The work was printed letterpress at Arundel Press by Phil Bevis, Derek Smith, and Rebecca Mancuso on our vintage Asbern Proof Press. Typography designed with the kind assistance of Gerald Lange of Bieler Press. [16] pages, handsewn.
A hardcover edition is forthcoming.
"don't you kill him
at a nightclub
after midnight
on New Year's Eve
with a beautiful much younger
woman
we leave arm in arm, smiling
a hooker at the next table
calls our to my date
“don't you kill him tonight, girl!”
as we both laugh
I notice my date's laughter
is louder" |
