Razorcake Reviews Assuming Size

ASSUMING SIZE
$2, 4 ¼” x 5 ½”, copied, 20 pgs.

By Katie Dunne
Friday, April 08 2011

A poetry chapbook featuring four writers. The cover art is really cool but the printing job takes away from it. Otherwise, the presentation is crisp: cream cover with machine sewn white thread for binding. The first collection of poems appears to be a list of personal affirmations. Second collection includes a poem about Facebook (?). I liked “Arthur danto” because the all caps made it feel like, “Look at this absolute bullshit of a life that academia is!” until the coda about “Tom” Pynchon made it too self aware, too jarring. I repeat: this is a poetry chapbook published in 2010. –Katie Dunne (monsterhousepress.tumblr.com)

Assuming Size was reviewed by multifariously creative person Dan Tarnowski at On Lives.

Also, Ryan and Richard's poetry reading in Oberlin, Ohio, was reviewed favorably by Alice Beecher at Fearless and Loathing.

In other news, as should be expected, Weedsteeler.com is on the frontline of government censorship.

See pictures Mallory Whitten took during the reading after 'the jump.'

Richmond Zine Fest 2010

A few weeks ago I tabled this event with Chelsea Dirck and Candace Corbin in Richmond, Virginia. We don't seem to be in this video. Dirck sold prints like hot cakes. I made buttons and periodically someone would buy an Arty Party or Assuming Size. C.L. Corbin made her very first zine, a collection of poems, drawings and collages.
