The long-awaited THE LONGNOOK OVERLOOK: Volume Two will soon be available in an exceptionally limited deluxe edition, made by a remarkable set of human hands. Featuring a four-color center foldout of Urban Lyrics, a set of sparkling abstractions set off by Hans Hoffman protégée Serena Rothstein, this celebratory production will be packed with twice as many poems, essays. fiction and art as the much-lauded first issue published a decade ago. As was the OVERLOOK’s initial outing, what has been put together in a special slipcase is one very serious lark.
Alternatingly amusing and somber, essayistic engagements with Frank O’Hara, Ford Madox Ford, James Baldwin, and Ezra Pound (among many others) may be found in its nearly three hundred pages. These alternate with a wide range of poetic and fictional offerings. And, as part of its conceptual about-face, the OVERLOOK’ s second escapade will include an extensive interview with author Mary Maxwell. On either side of her recollected “uncorrected proofs,” readers will be delighted to find works by her not to be found anywhere else.
