FAB 5. NICK ANTOSCA & CLAUDIA SMITH

I was thinking the other day how quickly we write stories, get them published, share the link with a few friends, maybe see the link shared on a few blogs or review sites, then its sort of forgotten when the next story comes out. So I contacted a few folks who have great stories online that I've read and I think they should be resurrected and shared with more folks. Maybe you're reading it again or maybe for the first time, but either way... I'm gonna start the first installment with Nick Antosca and Claudia Smith.

JAMIE IREDELL. THE BOOK OF FREAKS

The Book of Freaks
by Jamie Iredell
$11, 136 pages
ISBN 978-1-892061-39-3

Like an expanded Dictionary of Received Ideas, The Book of Freaks takes its subject matter from everyday life. Both hilarious and poker-faced in equal measures, this faux encyclopedia categorizes mundanities and renders them starkly unexpected. From circus freaks, to nationalities, to you and everyone you've ever met, The Book of Freaks points out what we already knew, but never acknowledged: every one of us, in our own little ways, is a weirdo. The Book of Freaks is bewildering in a good way--a bluntly informational yet oddly poetic tour de force.

"Jamie Iredell can spin around with a disc in his hand and then throw that disc incredible distances. He can also do freakish things with words."

--Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody

Jamie Iredell lives in Atlanta, Georgia. His writing has been published enthusiastically and reluctantly in various known and unknown forums. He also wrote a book called Prose. Poems. A Novel. which is very hard to find.

CHRISTOPHER KENNEDY. ENNUI PROPHET. BOA EDITIONS

Ennui Prophet
Christopher Kennedy (Author)
July 2011
92 Pages
$16.00 U.S. · $19.00 CAN
ISBN 9781934414491
BOA Editions Ltd.

Description

"Singular and deeply pleasurable. Christopher Kennedy's prosetry is a lonely anarchic nation-state unto itself, half vacation funspot, half eerie purgatorial layover." — Dave Eggers

The poems in Ennui Prophet, Christopher Kennedy's fourth collection, range from deeply personal explorations of relationships with family and friends, to examinations of the political climate in the first decade of the millennium. Whether personal or public, Kennedy gazes through a slightly distorted lens to better see the world around us.

Christopher Kennedy's previous book, Encouragement for a Man Falling to His Death (BOA Editions Ltd., 2007) received the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award. He directs Syracuse University's MFA program in creative writing.

About the Author

Christopher Kennedy is the author of three poetry collections, Encouragement for a Man Falling to His Death (BOA Editions, Ltd.), which received the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award in 2007; Trouble with the Machine (Low Fidelity Press); and Nietzsche's Horse (Mitki/Mitki Press). His work has appeared in many print and on-line journals and magazines, including Ploughshares, New York Tyrant, Ninth Letter, The Threepenny Review, Slope, Mississippi Review, and McSweeney's. He is an associate professor of English at Syracuse University where he directs the MFA Program in Creative Writing.
