At Maureen's EPUB

At Maureen's, a new book from Bernadette Mayer and Greg MastersNew York, Feb. 2013 – Crony Books is pleased to announce the publication of a new book, At Maureen's, by Bernadette Mayer and Greg Masters. At Maureen's is a double journal offering a Rashomon-like take on a month spent housesitting in Connecticut.

Two poets from the bohemian enclaves of the East Village of Manhattan do what they can to acclimate to their new rural surroundings: a horse, raspberries, visitors, diapers, books, each other and sustained moments of concentration. It's back to the garden for two writers and their families and friends.

Only in this patch, which are weeds and which are flowers is not so certain.

Two perspectives of the proceedings are on offer with sustained moments of concentration that enhance the details.

Wonder and love blossom too. At the time this book was written, summer 1981, Bernadette Mayer was director of the Poetry Project, a literary center housed in St.

Mark’s Church in the East Village of Manhattan. She is the author of numerous books of poetry and prose, including A Bernadette Mayer Reader and The Helens of Troy, NY (New Directions).

Greg Masters was editor of the Poetry Project Newsletter and co-editor of the poetry magazine Mag City.
