If you expect chapbooks to provide you with the ecstacy you deserve as a citizen of the galaxy, with the serial gesture of imaginative and bodily pleasure, if you expect chapbooks to bring about a performative and interactive theatre of deliberate play, to throw your mind aggressively into a state of transformation, to remind you simultaneously of Charles Olson, Vitezslav Nezval, Eleni Sikelianos, and Diane Arbus, if you expect this and more from your chappy chap chap then email us and get your copy of Periplum Maps Our Star/ Less Shores by Jennifer Koshkina...do it soon...do it today...and prepare to become a summer baby bug, peacock farmer, a beat duck, and a royal leopard!!!
An excerpt:
And for one day he reined
in delirium with trembling
chariot control over winged horses
She was made of cardboard
before humans were made of elastic
He struck lemongrass
in a field of poppy
They knew stars took shape from unicorns
As he tamed carnivorous orchids
and she shielded them from floods and rascality
another shipmate
mildewed in the ears
played crossfire near their campfire
where clutters of gold
shifted aside to light the sunset
of one petunia
near his oar's blade

(note: The flush left margin is a result of my lack of html knowledge...the poems in the book employ more lyrical attention to the line than the flush left margin reveals...much apologies to Jennifer)
