“Privacy” pen and ink by the dearly missed, multi-talented artist and musician Rick Froberg. This is in the great @akashicbooks.bsky.social book of his visual art, Plenty for All.

This is a difficult decision that has a large impact. We would greatly appreciate you spreading the love (it’s the Brooklyn way) by finding our list of marketplace vendors at BrooklynBookFestival.org/vendor and supporting them as you would have at the festival.

Don your raincoats and umbrellas, our authors would love to see you! Due to the predicted high winds and rain from the Nor’easter, all Brooklyn Book Festival author programs will be moved indoors.

@akashicbooks.bsky.social #DDPPB “This Very Place” replaces the poem “I Say No” as the penultimate poem in the paperback. It makes me think of that old ironic saying “you can’t run away from yourself because wherever you go, there you are”, but we are many different people in a lifetime. #poetry

@akashicbooks.bsky.social #DDPPB “Piece de Resistance” is hard to discuss in a post. It could mean many things. Certainly a play on the word resistance with a theme on how we come to view ourselves. To me there is a journey in the poem, but a journey towards peace or hell or acceptance? #poetry

@akashicbooks.bsky.social #DDPPB “Mr. Roger’s” is my favorite of the new poems in the paperback. It’s a poem of memory, of language and of the dead. The dead gives advice, or shame, or a joke today through our memories of them. But there is so much more in this thought provoking poem by Duchovny.

@akashicbooks.bsky.social #DDPPB “Unlucky Mud” Twenty words with no punctuation. I like the placement of “we deserve” as it serves double duty with the two words proceeding “no mercy” and the preceding words “to darkness” and I like the adjective “iridescent” to describe the birds we scare. #poetry

@akashicbooks.bsky.social #DDPPB I now realize that “I Say No” is not a new poem in the paperback. It changed place from being second to the last poem in the hard cover to page 44 in the paperback. Why? I have no answer. Or about the placement of the new second to the last poem?
