SUMMARY:Gerald Fleming
DESCRIPTION:Gerald Fleming’s new book of prose poems (Hanging Loose Press\, Brooklyn)—titled\, simply\, One\, pushes the tensile strength of the English language. Frederick Barthelme has called the work in this new volume “dizzying and wonderful\, pretzelesque\,” and for Fleming the book is the culmination of two years’ work using a language “constrained\, but somehow liberated in that constraint.” Of his last book\, The Choreographer (Sixteen Rivers Press)\, the poet Terence Winch said\, “Fleming’s world is a universe of his own making\, defined by a poet’s sense of language and a novelist’s take on story. Readers will have a blast traveling through this wondrous place.” \nGerald Fleming’s most recent books are Night of Pure Breathing\, prose poems (Hanging Loose Press)\, and Swimmer Climbing onto Shore\, poetry (Sixteen Rivers Press). Fleming taught in San Francisco’s public schools for thirty-seven years and has written three books for teachers\, including Rain\, Steam\, and Speed (Jossey-Bass/Wiley). From 1995 to 2000\, he edited and published the literary magazine Barnabe Mountain Review. In 2013\, with his brother and sister—glass artists Bernie Fleming and Michaela Fleming—he launched the limited-edition magazine One (More) Glass.

SUMMARY:André Alexis
DESCRIPTION:Praise for André Alexis: \n“A novel about a pack of talking dogs\, you say? The very idea will most likely breed thoughts of insufferable whimsy\, like those paintings of mutts playing poker\, or of more or less effective satire\, in the vein of Animal Farm. It’s a grand thing\, then\, that this spry novel by Canadian André Alexis spends its 160 pages repeatedly defying expectations … I’m far from being a dog person\, but as a book person I loved this smart\, exuberant fantasy from start to finish.” – — Jonathan Gibbs\, The Guardian\, on Fifteen Dogs \n\n“Over the course of this novel\, slim yet epic in scope\, Alexis chronicles the fates of these strangely afflicted beasts\, shifting from thought experiment to comic parable to something more delicate\, laden with detail\, discovery and emotional nuance.” — The Globe & Mail on Fifteen Dogs \n\n“A remarkable book. Insightful\, wildly original and beautiful. Buy it.” — Mark Medley\, Books Editor at The Globe & Mail\, on Fifteen Dogs \nAbout The Hidden Keys: \nParkdale’s Green Dolphin is a bar of ill repute\, and it is there that Tancred Palmieri\, a thief with elegant and erudite tastes\, meets Willow Azarian\, an aging heroin addict. She reveals to Tancred that her very wealthy father has recently passed away\, leaving each of his five children a mysterious object that provides one clue to the whereabouts of a large inheritance. Willow enlists Tancred to steal these objects from her siblings and help her solve the puzzle. \n  \nA Japanese screen\, a painting that plays music\, a bottle of aquavit\, a framed poem and a model of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater: Tancred is lured in to this beguiling quest\, and even though Willow dies before the puzzle is solved\, he presses on. \n  \nAs he tracks down the treasure\, he must enlist the help of Alexander von Wurfel\, conceptual artist and taxidermist to the wealthy\, and fend off Willow’s heroin dealers\, a young albino named ‘Nigger’ Colby and his sidekick\, Sigismund ‘Freud’ Luxemburg\, a clubfooted psychopath\, both of whom are eager to get their hands on this supposed pot of gold. And he must mislead Detective Daniel Mandelshtam\, his most adored friend. \n  \nInspired by a reading of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island\, The Hidden Keys questions what it means to be honorable\, what it means to be faithful and what it means to sin.
