One-Bedroom Solo

Book Cover: One-Bedroom Solo$12

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "In Sheila Maldonado's work, it's as if the great voices of Latin American poetry are speaking through a contemporary American woman and remixed to the beat of her own particular urban swagger and wit. It's a song that can contain pop culture, social satire, linguistic hi-jinx, and a funky sense of form. Read this powerful and often hilarious book as a source of self-help to get you through the city's frustrations. It will leave you refreshed, restored, and ready to 'tear out a heart / if you have to.'"—Elaine Equi

"If you're ever lost in the beguiling and fractured translation of being Latin@ in America, Sheila Maldonado's ONE-BEDROOM SOLO is just the book you need. These poems bring you into a conversation that is drop-dead funny and cunningly tragic. Maldonado draws a self-portrait in an active mirror; an x-ray of love, despair, homeland, and good ole' signifyin'. ONE-BEDROOM SOLO is a memorable first collection."—Willie Perdomo

Bill Kushner says “This wondrous unpious book contains wit and wisdom aplenty.”

Michael Graves says “It continues the gentle, but often brilliant satire begun in his second collection.”

Exquisite Poop:Blind Reproduction Catalog

Book Cover: Exquisite Poop - Blind Reproduction$20 and up on Amazon. Exquisite Poop combines the names for two communication games, Exquisite Corpse and Ipupyukat (Eat Poop You Cat). Inspired by the different descriptions Steve Cannon's visitors would give of the art on the walls, and by taking the blind professor to art openings, the curator organized an elaborate art and writing project in blind reproduction between over two dozen artists and writers.The artists were invited to contribute a small two-dimensional work, and commit to another. Images, titles, size and media information were then assigned to the writers, who were charged with describing the art as thoroughly and sincerely as possible. These descriptions were nearly randomly assigned to the contributing artists, who were tasked with recreating the artwork they thought the writer had described, without knowing the artist or seeing the original image.
