Mira Gonzalez has a book coming out

Mira Gonzalez‘s first book, i will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together, is now available for pre-order from Sorry House, a new press founded by Spencer Madsen. It will be published in January. The trailer above is by Meggie Green and Michael Inscoe.

It’s a book of poems. I’ve read the manuscript and enjoyed it. The poems are declarative, metaphorical, full of imagination and dreams as well as physical events. They create a feeling of rudderlessness, an uncanny mixture of confusion, sadness, and detached introspection.

Click here to read a poem by her on her tumblr and see one of her collages, which I also like. Also there’s these poems and this one.

As an added bonus, Mira is a real fun, nice person to interact with, and her Twitter is very enjoyable and funny and zany.

Sorry House has rounded up an impressive group of blurbs from Blake Butler, Melissa Broder, Brad Listi, Tao Lin, and Victor “Kool A.D.” Vazquez.

I feel nice that Mira will have a book out in January and I’m glad Spencer is making a press according to his particular tastes and collaborating with lots of good people.

  18. November 27th, 2012 / 1:31 am Jackson Nieuwland—

      damn seems unrealistic. what about: spencer madsen, mira gonzalez, tao lin, the other people who blurbed this book, stephen tully dierks, other people, surely there are five you prefer

  19. November 27th, 2012 / 1:34 am A D Jameson—

      Thank you.

      I try to be friendly to everyone and if I fail in that I instantly regret it.

  20. November 27th, 2012 / 1:35 am A D Jameson—

      I’ve been hearing a lot about that, but where can I find it?

      no egrets

  25. November 27th, 2012 / 1:37 am A D Jameson—

      I did just get a smart phone, though, over the Thanksgiving holiday. And have almost figured out how to use it. Watch out world! … … Although what I mainly want to know is how I can read G.I. Joe comics on it …

  26. November 27th, 2012 / 1:37 am A D Jameson—

      Nor eaglets.

  27. November 27th, 2012 / 1:42 am Jackson Nieuwland—

      or nest eggs

  28. November 27th, 2012 / 1:53 am A D Jameson—

      Mm, I don’t know about that. Nest eggs seem important? People keep telling me that, so I keep meaning to investigate them….

  29. November 27th, 2012 / 2:13 am Mira Gonzalez—

      everything is fantastic

  30. November 27th, 2012 / 3:08 am tao lin—

      sweet

  31. November 27th, 2012 / 3:15 am dl.flsxzkmrkyrzk—

      yes, i am her no. 1 fangirl

  32. November 27th, 2012 / 5:06 am Jackson Nieuwland—

      I would advise you not to investigate eggs while their mother is nesting. She will likely feel threatened and behave violently towards you

  60. November 28th, 2012 / 2:05 am Jackson Nieuwland—

      I have a draft of an email to you in gmail. It’s not finished yet, in fact it’s barely started. Almost just wrote ‘barefully’ instead of ‘barely’. I’ll probably send it tonight. How are you bro? I like your posts on this website. I like referring to this website as this website instead of its actual name

  61. November 30th, 2012 / 3:58 pm ZZZZZIPPP—

      IF ZZZZIPP UNZIPPED IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

  62. November 30th, 2012 / 4:56 pm Austin Islam—

      if there are like, corners, of the internet, this has got to be one of the sweetest corners, that i’ve found, like, today and for the past few days

      i want to read this

      also nice ivdeo and great blurbs.. ‘hype machine’

  63. December 1st, 2012 / 2:20 am Jackson Nieuwland—

      It is important to take risks

  64. December 1st, 2012 / 2:21 am Jackson Nieuwland—

      hi austin. a good thing to do would be to count how many corners that internet has and use that number to figure out what geometric shape it is

  65. December 1st, 2012 / 4:23 am Mira Gonzalez—

      the internet is 25 equilateral triangles

  66. December 1st, 2012 / 4:29 am Jackson Nieuwland—

      that’s all good and well but how do they intersect?

  67. December 1st, 2012 / 11:08 pm Willis Plummer—

      The universe (which others call the Internet) is composed of an indefinite and perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries, with vast air shafts between, surrounded by very low railings

  68. December 1st, 2012 / 11:34 pm Jackson Nieuwland—

      Really like the idea of the internet and the universe being the same thing. Thinking ‘how haven’t I thought of that before’
