"A mighty object to behold . . . enchanting . . . a complicated, intriguing development in the power struggle between the analog and the digital."--Los Angeles Review of Books
"The Third Man project originated from a weekly poetry series in Nashville that attracted both ends of the poetry spectrum--established national award winners (Pulitzer Prize finalists Dale Ray Phillips and Adrian Matejka) and complete unknowns such as local bartenders, teachers and even a mortician. Both are side-by-side in the book for a purpose."--Chicago Tribune
Language Lessons: Volume I is a box-set including two vinyl LPs of music and recitations, a hardcover book with 300+ pages of literary fiction, biography, and poetry, and five frameable broadsides.
This anthology includes over 20 award winning and/or nominated contemporary poets and authors such as Dale Ray Phillips, a Pulitzer Prize nominee in fiction, C.D. Wright, a National Book Award finalist in poetry, and Adrian Matejka, a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry. And, interestingly enough, many in the book will be published for the first time in their lives.
