We will be sending advanced review and review copies to all pertinent media outlets, as well as more specialized poetry, pop culture and literary venues. Michael Earl Craig will be reading extensively in support of The Cloud Corporation. We will be targeting an academic audience, including our vast network of academics and creative writing programs; Thin Kimono presents the type of poetry -- humorous, absurdist, accessible, yet strange -- that is popular reading among MFA students.
The third collection of deadpan absurdist poetry by a Certified Journeyman Farrier from Montana."I like being in the world of Craig's poems. Anything can happen, and probably will, and it will affect me in small or large ways that I couldn't have imagined. The precision of their imagery keeps me reeling with delight."--James Tate Thin Kimono continues Michael Earl Craig's singular breed of brilliant absurdist poetry, utterly and masterfully slanting the realities of daily existence. Michael Earl Craig is the author of two previous collections of poetry: Yes, Master (Fence Books, 2006) and Can You Relax in My House (Fence Books, 2002). He lives in Livingston, Montana, where he is a certified journeyman farrier.
"That Michael Earl Craig's poems are continually as lean, well-proportioned, and finely chiseled as that other Renaissance giant, Michelangelo's David (no relation), proves he has nothing at all to hide."-- Coldfront "The book provides many poems that are worth sharing with non-poets, not only because the lines are enjoyable, but also because the candor and straightforward nature of the work dispels the myth that poetry is abstract and inaccessible."-- Front Porch
