There is Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon anniversary sale at the Orange Alert. There is also much goodness and rage. That, and a video. Bam.

Some much deserved Orange Alert Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon media love.

How cool is this, there is both an article in New City discussing the Chicago literary reading scene which nicely highlights among others, the work of the Jason Behrends and Orange Alert, as well as, an interview with Hosho McCreesh and Christopher Cunningham on the Kung Foox Art Collective blog where they riff on many of the topics - life, writing, and all that entails - that make Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon such an excellent and thrilling read. Good stuff, yes? Yes, now please take a look, it just might change your life.

Sunlight At Midnight, Darkness At Noon - The Cunningham/McCreesh Letters Volume 1.

Are we biased? Of course we are. Does that mean however that these letters aren't full of rage, beauty and ragged glory? It does not. And do we think reading them just might change your life? We do. So please take a look and then let us know what you think. Cool? Great.

the understory Pamela Erens and Oh Baby by Kim Chinquee. Good stuff. Really good stuff.

While we have been especially geeked to read two new books previously mentioned here, Stories by Scott McClanahan and Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon, a collection of letters between the poets Hosho McCreesh and Christopher Cunningham, we alas have not yet gotten our hands on them. That said, we have any number of books here at TBWCYL, Inc. headquarters that we have been wanting to read and so we took to the bookshelves this week in search of what might come next. As we did, it occurred to us that we have been reading a lot of books by dudes recently and while there is nothing wrong with that per se it seemed like it was time to mix it up a bit. Which we did after coming across the understory by Pamela Erens and Oh Baby by Kim Chinquee, two drastically different yet equally wonderful reading experiences.

the understory is a terrific novel and meditation on not just compulsion and isolation, but the role compulsion plays, good and bad, in the meditative life.

Oh Baby on the other hand is a collection of flash fiction and prose poems that seem to fall somewhere between shotgun blasts and song.

Both are like gifts that had been lurking right there before us just waiting to be discovered. We you hope you will discover them as well, because who knows, they just might change your life.

Check it out - Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon is coming soon from Orange Alert Press.

This is so cool, the new Orange Alert Press joint Sunlight at Midnight, Darkness at Noon, a collection of letters between the poets Hosho McCreesh and Christopher Cunningham will be out on May 25th and is available for pre-order now. Yes, now. So go ahead, order it, read it, feel good, change your life.
