The Press Gang is organized by Cristiana Baik (AL) and Sara Wintz (NY) and is focused on publishing avant writers. I met Cristiana when I was living in Birmingham and I thought she was wonderful. With the resources for artists’ book printing available at UA I bet the production quality on these will be high. First out, a chapbook by Juliana Spahr.
P-QUEUE, Sarah Campbell’s magazine out of Buffalo, has published its first chapbook, The Plans Caution, a collaboration between Michelle Taransky and her father.

Point of clarification: now Andrew Rippeon’s magazine & press. Sarah has passed the reins.
Aha. Who’s Andrew Rippeon?
Second year grad student. Sarah mentored him this past year for the fourth issue of P-Queue. The book is the first in the series he is launching under the press imprint. He and Rich Owens have taken over the print shop from Michael & Kyle.

We had a triple launch Friday night at the Polish Library. Much fun, well attended, I’m tired. Usual positive vibes.
All best.
What’s with Michael and Kyle? When are they leaving? Buffalo’s not big enough for the 5 of us (I leave out the baby who is still an Innocent, though spawned from the Devil).
I wished I was there this weekend (Eric will corroborate my desire)… congratulations on a successful launch!
