John Bennett

Picture
"John Bennett is the founder of Vagabond Press, the former editor of the seminal small press magazine, Vagabond, and the author of over 21 books of prose, poetry and 'shards', a high-octane, hybrid form of short prose pieces. He also edited Ragged Lion, A Tribute to Jack Micheline, and recently recorded a CD of his shards entitled Rug Burn.  A true iconoclast and die-hard individualist, Bennett has a strong aversion to all schools, movements, isms, etc, championing instead the voice of the socially dispossessed and the marginal outsider."

- From a Bennett interview by Mark Terrill, in Rain Taxi Review of Books
- John Bennett Bio & Bibliography page in Big Bridge

John Bennett - Tire Grabbers
(Hcolom Press, new)
"a high-water mark in Bennett's long career, a postmodern parable to rattle the cage of the terminally disenchanted." ~Mark Terrill, Small Press Review

"Despite praise from Bukowski, Saul Bellow and Tom Robbins, three highly distinctive American idols, a broad audience has yet to discover Bennett. Tire Grabbers could break the barricades." David Milholland, Editor, Clinton Street Quarterly

Twisted Spoon Press

Founded in 1992, Twisted Spoon Press is an independent publisher based in Prague. Focused on translating into English a variety of writing from Central & Eastern Europe and making it available to a global readership, its list includes some internationally recognized names as well as authors who are having their work published in English for the first time. Equal emphasis is placed on introducing both new works from contemporary writers and work from an earlier period that has been neglected in translation. The press offers an eclectic and unique selection of literature from the region, often illustrated by local artists and always well-designed and produced.
