THIS ITEM—DILLINGER: First Edition, blood-statined copies of Volumes 1, 2, and 3, by Todd Moore...
"Greatest poet of the American Plains since Sandburg" –Kenneth Funsten, LA Times
"Impressively done, down to the blood spot on the first inside page" –Robert Peters, Gargoyle (the blood is real)
"Todd Moore runs with Language and makes every word count" –Elmore Leonard
"The scope of this project, and its contribution to American Literature, is perhaps unprecedented in the long history of small press publishing" –Michael Coffey, Small Press Magazine
"A genuine modern primitive, in the best sense of the term" –Paul Metcalf, Sulfur
"DILLINGER is sure to be a hit– as much a bestseller as could be expected in the poetry game..." –Joe Napora, Small Press News
and others: "pulls you into a frenzied mind" "a joy to read" "An American sleaze Oedipus Rex" "DILLINGER is chant, litany, rite" "a masterpiece" ...
I forget what I've been doing all these years! I published these back in the mid-to-late '80s. A planned 21-volume set, the project's success and immensity crushed me a short time after volume 3 came out. I ended up in hospital. Funny...
I still have copies left. I still think they're beautiful, and so did everyone else. Maybe you will too.
Progressively darkening red covers, perfect-bound, pages consecutively numbered, Volume 3 ends on page 75, so about 25 pages of epic-poetic text per book, I'll sell all copies with the blood spot, and and once they're gone, I'll only have copies of Volumes 1 & 2 available.
All copies are NEW, but some have slight scuffing from following me around for twenty-five years.
Postage Paid: Media Mail — Options, ask for cost.
