Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In their collaborative poetry, Dustin Junkert and Shane Moritz drag the compositional practice of Exquisite Corpse kicking and screaming into the 21st century; they finish each other's sentences with often preposterous élan. Their subjects are projectiles of varying gravity launched at a Ouija board planchette; the scenarios they unfold describe a universe of pop-culture misunderstandings. Somewhere at the intersection of David Berman, Anne Sexton, Robert Pinsky, and Stephen Malkmuslies the lyrebird glory of these poems, their impact amplified by David Nichols's original drawings, whose air of tender perplexity provides a perfect emotional accompaniment. Moritz and Junkert met in 2013 while in graduate school at Georgia College and State University, where they fell into the habit of writing over each other's stories and poems as they passed the time in one of the town's few bars. At first it was an If I were writing it, I'd probably say this  .&thinsp.  type of thing, handwritten changes to printed drafts smudged with tzatziki. Although they owed allegiance to different literary schools, they tended to agree on the best punch lines, and wound up accepting each other's mocking overwrites often enough that they started to work together this way intentionally. It was amusing for each of them to hand over a draft and see what the other brought to it, until each piece eventually morphed into something for which neither wassolely responsible. The final product became known as a shanedunk and the process as dunking-both terms coined by their poetry professor, Laura Newbern, whose influence rages here. Our heroes later moved to different cities, but the dunking continued whenever they met up, in Boston, Philadelphia, Portland, Baltimore. As soon as they saw the illustrations David Nichols proposed for their poems, the authors were convinced that The Book of Treasures would not be complete without them; the melancholy vision expressed in his artwork draws out the tenderness underlying even their most unhinged scenarios. Nichols, David (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. What if Biggie Smalls had survived the assassin's bullets and reinvented hip-hop with the help of an avant-garde luminary? If Amy Winehouse had shaken off her demons and channeled her inner Barbra Streisand into a new life on a tropical island? If Jeff Buckley had been pulled alive from the Mississippi by a devilish hand and become a pioneer of Southern black metal? With accompanying illustrations by Jeb Loy Nichols, Mark Swartz's stories imagine what might have happened to these stars and more - including Jimi Hendrix, Gram Parsons, Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Lhasa de Sela, Lil Peep, and Jim Morrison - if their untimely deaths had been averted, or somehow had not been the end of their lives.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Young children are story machines. The simple act of growing up always results in unplanned adventures and missteps that are often wildly entertaining to the family. As parents, we cope with their antics at the time, laugh about them later, then forget them as new journeys begin. The Armitage children had more than their share of adventures and their stories served as entertainment for friends and family over the years. In this marvelous book, Allan has shared their stories. Many will bring back memories of children's frolics, all will make you smile, and some will even result in spontaneous belly laughter. As delightful as the tales are, the wonderful illustrations make them come alive even more. Story telling is as old as time, and time stands still as we enjoy reliving our children's youth.
