Publisher's Synopsis
- One of the most thorough accounts of the Waldrops' life and work ever published.
- The Waldrop's are a model for independent artists and thinkers, and the reflections, stories, and creative works assembled here should easily inspire many young writers and artists.
- As with the previous book in the series on Joanne Kyger, this book offers a wide array of materials that readers can read through cover to cover or browse, including poems, plays, essays, interviews, and more.
- This republishes some complete books, including the Waldrop's autobiography Ceci N'est Pas Keith, Ceci N'est Pas Rosmarie.
- Many of these pieces were published and distributed in limited editions by the Waldrops themselves and are now hard to find.
- Several pieces, including an interview with Keith Waldrop by Peter Gizzi and an interview with Rosmarie Waldrop by Ben Lerner, are previously unpublished.
- It is generously illustrated with numerous facsimiles of texts, posters, and artworks-including many of Keith's collages.
- It is edited by well-known poet and novelist Ben Lerner, with an introduction by well-known poet and scholar Aaron Kunin.
- Brown University maintains an archive of the Waldrop's work
