Listening in Many Publics comprises three long poems on the subject of sound, and of sound's listening subjects: a crown of sonnets, a serial poem in 40 parts operating through fracture and dissonance, and a narrative journey to an underworld where words decay into aurality. Signifying both sound and air, aurality describes that which we can attune ourselves to hear and the medium through which these vibrations travel: both what and how. Plural, civic, and political, the poems locate themselves in the many publics that constitute our individual and social being, interrogating that which brings the subject into existence. Thinking along with the theory and poetics of Aimé Césaire, adrienne marie brown, Frantz Fanon, Fredric Jameson, and Diane di Prima, the poems create an open, hopeful sensibility in the face of the structures and systems they critique. For readers who love Bernadette Mayer and the New York School of poetry, David Berman, field recordings, tape hiss, and Brian Eno.

Family, friendship, and the spirit of giving are at the heart of this inspiring picture book. Opening in Depression-era New York, The Carpenter's Gift tells the story of eight-year-old Henry and his out-of-work father selling Christmas trees in Manhattan. They give one of their leftover trees to construction workers building Rockefeller Center. That tree becomes the first Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, the finest Henry has seen when adorned with homemade decorations. Henry wishes on the tree for a nice, warm house to replace his family's drafty, one-room shack. Through the kindness of new friends and old neighbors, Henry's wish is granted, and he plants a pinecone to commemorate the event. As an old man, Henry repays the gift by donating to Rockefeller Center the enormous tree that has grown from that pinecone. After bringing joy to thousands as a beautiful Christmas tree, its wood will be used to build a home for a family in need. Written by children's nonfiction author David Rubel, in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity, The Carpenter's Gift features charming, full-color illustrations by Jim LaMarche.

S.D.Teachers aid “The Col. is a remarkable reflection of his creator”–M.W. Registered Nurse Ret. “I can't decide which illustration I like best.They’re all great.-”E.A. Tax Consultant “I love the horses and hounds he surround himself with”-J.K. Hydrogeologist Ret. “My life would be much duller without John's clever sense of humor.”- R.S. Entrepreneur “There's only one other person who could have conceived Col. Chambers, and that is P G. Wodehouse, and he would have assigned Jeeves and Bertie Wooster to join the hunt. What fun that would be!- D.F. TV-VP Ret. “John is witty, fun, and knowledgeable, and his creativity has resulted in unique new projects and ideas that benefit a wide circle of people.”–S. Z.

It’s a fun thing, John, and you deserve all the credit for concocting it. D.F Philosopher.
