Synopsis

Morrie Warshawski is pleased to announce the publication of a new chapbook of 30 poems - this afternoon - in a limited edition of 150 copies signed and numbered by the author. this afternoon was designed and printed by Lisa Rappoport of Littoral Press (Richmond, CA) who used handset type and a hand-fed Chandler & Price letterpress with handmade paper covers. In a world full of mass produced mechanically created products, I wanted this collection of poems to be very old school and have the feel of a well-crafted handmade object, says Warshawski. The poems were written over an 18 month period when he was living part time in Santa Clarita, CA.

Review

What a beautiful book! --Reginald Harris, Poets House

....honest and vulnerable with interesting leaps of language. And sexy! --Renny Pritikin, Chief Curator, Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, CA

The voice is clear, individual, bemused, amusing... I love the way Warshawski looks around and bring everything in. The things that fit, the things that don t fit. The things that surprise. Love the way he turns it all into love... Congratulations! --Peter Clothier, Los Angeles Art Critic and Author
