SUE LANDERS is the author of 248 mgs., a panic picnic (O Books,
2003)

This book explores the emotional and socio-political lives of a cast of
characters based on autobiography, but devised by sound. Some characters
are the same character under different names. The book's claustrophobic
tercets combined with spiraling repetition help foreground the importance
of artifice and code, the very elements the book's characters undermine,
complicate, and expose. The code is a score. To sound out the story.

"This is a daring and contemporary voice that speaks of pills, guns, and
of shame. The story is captivating, the echoes of recurring themes and
stanzas are haunting: this book is a blast"--Anne Tardos.

She is also is co-editor of the magazine Pom2. She lives in Brooklyn.


CHRISTOPHER MATTISON hails from Boston where he is the co-editor of
ADVENTURES IN POETRY (with Larry Fagin). OTHER PUBLICATIONS & PORTABLE PRESS
at YO-YO LABS published, for this occasion his debut chapbook:

STATICTICIANS

off-set printed cover in blue ink on goldenrod yellow paper, edition of 100

An ardent, lucid account of the hill luminaria and multiple secular
close-ups--their intimacies. Tendencies, tugs. Christopher's work is
perfectly clear, just so vivid.

"What's loosed along rookeries?/basalt aspiring to cobble/capons to
dirigibles"
