The Orange Spotlight

Probably by Jono Tosch (Kendra Steiner Editions, May 2010)

The latest release from Kendra Steiner Editions is a diverse collections of poems from Jono Tosch. Probably covers subjects ranging from Don Mattingly to really bad days to the journey of stray lunch meat. The one theme that connects this seemingly random collection is the idea of "what if". It's not that these are hypothetical situations, but they are situations that can be dissected and changes in direction may occur. Jono is inturpeting life, but from a slightly removed angle.

"Don Mattingly flickers like a disposable lighter, Don Mattingly rises to the surface of the great ocean of consciousness."

KSE has always used different types of paper, but for this collection they have brought a unique silver type of paper for the cover. It adds to the uniqueness of the collection. The work and design stand out in KSE's overall collection. This is issue #164 and was printed in an edition of 67. I am holding #19.
