Submission Deadline Is December 15th!

  
The deadline for submissions to Issue #1 is December 15th!  Thank you to everyone who submitted to our first issue.  We expect to have them printed and made sometime in January.  We will re-open for submissions in February 2011 and we look forward to reading your new work then! 

Perfect Binding brought to you by us




Here is an example of our what we are publishing.  This is a perfect bound paper back of Robin Sontheimer's collection of poetry entitled Uniquely Human Component of Language Found in Gregarious Birds.  This really is just a test of our materials and it won't be available for sale through Rabbit Catastrophe Press, but we wanted to provide an example of how our books look and what to expect from us.  This example edition is very minimal.  We didn't use color and the book is only 4 1/2" X 6".  If you are familiar with the Green Integer Press, this edition was modeled after that size.

Rabbit Catastrophe Review will most likely be around 8 1/2" Square and will include art in color.  At any rate, we hope you like what you see.  Issue number 1 is coming along very nicely and we are very happy with the contributors so far.  Please send us more submissions as we have a lot more space in this issue to fill!

Thanks
Rabbit Catastrophe Editors

The Introduction to the World by G M Holder

The Introduction to the World by GM Holder has become available from Blackout Publishing.  Check out the review on the website and take advantage of this very limited print. 

Since I met Garth he has been working on his novel Love Songs & and Monster Songs.  In 2011 his book will finally be printed by Blackout Publishing.  In 2004 or 2005 I was working at Half Price Books in Kansas City with his then wife Irena and we had become friends.  Garth gave me a copy of the manuscript (at the time it was entitled Vignettes for an Undestroyed Love) and I remember feeling at once captivated and terrified by it.  I was only able to process small pieces of it at a time, but I preferred it that way.  Like Vollmann's Atlas, this felt like a book that I could pick up and take in at any point and feel satisfied by the completeness of each piece.  I am no book reviewer, not by a longshot and I couldn't begin to do justice to the book here... and to be completely transparent, Garth and I have lost contact over the years and I am not sure if the manuscript that he gave me five years ago even remotely resembles what he will be publishing next year.  Regardless, even in it's earlier stages, this book was stunning. 

I am eagerly awaiting my copy of Introduction to the World and I hope that everyone will take advantage of the offer that Blackout Publishing is making.  You can buy the "very limited edition." from their website or you can download a PDF copy for free.  Congratulations Garth, I look forward to reading more.
