Thank you No Tell Motel for listing LRL Textile Series Chapbook, An Antenna Called the Body by Sarah Mangoldas one of the best books of 2011!
Amanda Earl listed rob mclennan’s C as top chapbook in 2011
Ron Silliman lists 2 textile series chaps in his notables for 2011! When discussing Draft 96: Velocity and A Reading: Birds, he quoth:
“These are additions to two of the most riveting, multifaceted, longpoems of the past century – and again it’s a situation of the smallest of presses taking on responsibility that really belongs to the largest trade publishers imaginable – except that the big houses have abandoned literature save as product. One result is that Little Red Leaves has more compelling product than most of the trades. These books use fabric remnants – from sheets to shower curtains – for cover stock & seem as fragile as they are beautiful.”
