A new addition to the Kendra Steiner imprint, Doug Draime has been a presence in the small-press publishing scene since the 1960s, appearing first as a hardboiled LA urban poet before moving to Oregon about 20 years ago. This chapbook, his first for Kendra Steiner, collects eight short 'Fog Poems' and five 'Portraits Of Downtown Los Angeles' alongside a single work entitled 'This City'. The fog poems are excellent, short meditations on various personal/cosmological moments of occultation that combine tough city rhythms with nebulous atmospherics and intriguing personal/cultural detail. The Downtown material bundles sketches of various fringe city characters while This City wraps up the whole work with a desperate incantation. Hand-numbered edition of 77 copies.

Fantastic archival exhumation of work by this great US counter-cultural poet, originally written on the back of a paper bag during a mescaline-fuelled vision in the summer of 1968 in rural Oregon. A series of endlessly fractal visions of the realities outside of time and space as filtered through the most subliminal of motions/events. Excellent. Hand-numbered edition of 49 copies.

New volume of small town meditations from poets Draime and Rainwater-Lites with movements through Texas, Indiana, California and onwards. Edition of 89 hand-numbered copies.
