Language Arts

Cedar Sigo grew up on the Suquamish reservation, outside of Seattle, Washington. We plan on sending copies of Language Arts to bookstores and Native American culture centers on the West Coast. Sigo has published books and chapbooks with many presses before us and has connections to poets all over the country, including those who taught him at the Naropa Institute. We will generate word-of-mouth publicity for Language Arts by sending out complimentary copies to established poets who know him. San Francisco has a thriving population of poetry readers. We will target bookstores in California, and in San Francisco in particular. We will also send copies to bookstores in Colorado, where he studied at Naropa, and New York, the home of his former publisher, Ugly Duckling Presse. Sigo will tour to promote this book on both coasts, and will be in attendance at AWP Seattle. We have over 3200 Facebook followers, 9100 Twitter followers, and a mailing list of 2000 people. We will promote Language Arts on all of our social media sites and on our website.

San Francisco poet Cedar Sigo’s third collection is a lively spectacle that compels the reader with its syncopated rhythms."Cedar Sigo is a Frank O'Hara for the twenty-first century: witty, erudite, serious, with a terrific ear and eye for the minutest details, at home in the world of the arts."--Ron Silliman The gravitron, SEXODROME growing out of apollinaires grave Empty balcony seats, operatic little fills The poems of a Multi-billionaire, a vow of silence Fine and Mellow, all the things you are Cedar Sigo is the author of eight books of poetry, including Stranger In Town (City Lights Publishers) and Selected Writings (Ugly Duckling Presse).
