Thom Francis welcomes poet Alina Pleskova who shared her work at a special reading sponsored by the Hudson Valley Writers Guild, Trailer Park Quarterly, and Hobo Camp Review at The Linda on August 5, 2023. Alina Pleskova is a poet, editor, and Moscow-born immigrant turned proud Philadelphian. Her first full-length collection, Toska, is now available from Deep Vellum. She co-edits bedfellows magazine and is a 2020 and 2022 Leeway Foundation grant awardee, as well as the author of the chapbook, What Urge Will Save Us (Spooky Girlfriend Press, 2017.) Her writing has appeared in American Poetry Review, swamp pink, Peach Mag, the tiny, and elsewhere. On August 5, 2023, Alina was one of the poets who, along with Rebecca Schumejda, Kenning JP Garcia, Erren Geraud Kelly, and Victorio Reyes Asili, shared their work at The Linda, WAMC's Performing Arts Studio, as part of a night of poetry and spoken word presented by the Hudson Valley Writers Guild and online literary journals Hobo Camp Review, and Trailer Park Quarterly. That night, Alina read from her recent collection of poetry, Toska. According to Deep Vellum, her publisher's website, the title of the book derives from “the Russian word which denotes a melancholic longing without a singular cause, longing for a better world than the late-stage capitalist hell we live in,”. Local poet Dan Wilcox wrote on his blog about the reading, "She is clearly the center of her poems, but in the sense of a person surrounded by images in the world, as opposed to some self-absorbed philosophical ponderings; an example would be her poem “I Forgot What I Returned For” about being in an airport on her birthday. I particularly liked this line from one of her poems “I want the class war to start but everyone is too tired;”"

In this episode I'm joined by Dalkey Archive's editorial director, Chad W. Post. We discuss the republication of the late Marguerite Young's cult-classic work of fiction, Miss MacIntosh, My Darling (Dalkey Archive Press, 2024). A colossal novel of over 1,000 pages, a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, permanent opium-induced hallucinations, a sprawling sense of scope, and a truly distinct and lyrical prose style--it's a doozy. I haven't finished yet myself, having stopped and restarted multiple times over the years, but that's the beauty of it; it's challenging, wandering, dense, at times utterly absurd, but always rewarding. Chad painstakingly walks us through the book's editorial legacy, and the gargantuan task of excavating this text and introducing it to new generations. Chad W. Post is the publisher of Open Letter Books and Editorial Director for the Dalkey Archive Press. He also writes a Substack called "Mining the Dalkey Archive." Marguerite Young, a descendant of Brigham Young, was born in Indiana in 1909 and spent most of her life in Greenwich Village, where she associated with writers like Richard Wright, Carson McCullers, Truman Capote, and Gertrude Stein. In addition to Miss MacIntosh, My Darling she published two works of poetry, a work of nonfiction (Angel in the Forest), a collection of essays and stories (Inviting the Muses), and Harp Song for a Radical: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs, which was published posthumously. Tyler Thier, your host, is a faculty member and administrator in the Department of Writing Studies & Rhetoric at Hofstra University. He regularly writes and teaches cultural criticism, and his scholarship is concerned with malicious rhetoric and dangerous media—specifically, extremist manifestos. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ivan and Phoebe (Deep Vellum, 2023) spotlights the uproarious generation that led the Ukrainian independence movement of 1990; from subjugation to revolution to post-Soviet rule, it investigates the difficulties and absurdities of societal change and the families that change with it. Ivan and Phoebe chronicles the lives of several young people involved in the Ukranian student protests of the 1990's, otherwise known as the Revolution On Granite or the "First Maidan." The story bounces between politically charged cities like Kyiv and Lviv, and protagonist Ivan's small, traditional hometown of Uzhgorod. As characters come to exercise their rights to free speech and protest, they must also re-evaluate the norms of marriage, family, and home life. While these initially appear to be spaces of peace and harmony, they are soon revealed to be hotbeds of conflict and multigenerational trauma. Married couple Ivan and Phoebe grapple with questions about family, trauma, and independence. Although Ivan tells the story, Phoebe's voice rings through the text as she divulges her own traumas through poetic monologues. The two reflect on the traumatic aftermath of revolution: torture at the hands of the KGB and each other. While Ivan refuses to talk about his pain, Phoebe describes her past through poetic monologues. Lutsyshyna's poetic form allows her to experiment with characterization and genre, creating her own category. Through her characters' vivid voices, Lutsyshyna creates a his- and her-story of Ukraine: a panoramic view of post-Soviet society and family life through social, political, and economic crises.

Will is the hyperkinetic, mustachioed founder of the publishing house Deep Vellum and its allied bookstore in Deep Ellum. He's responsible for the reissue of Jim Schutze's book "The Accommodation," about the bombing of Black-owned homes in South Dallas in the 1950s and how White leaders in this city did what they could to duck the civil rights movement. When it was first published, in 1986, it wasn't exactly a bestseller. Now, as part of Big D Reads, 30,000 copies of the book are being distributed in Dallas for free. The entire month of September is filled with events that enrich what is essentially the city's biggest book club. So we talked about all that. And we talked about why Will thinks Tim is like an aggressively onanistic baboon he once saw at the Dallas Zoo.

My first interview! I had Ross J. Farrar to talk about his new book of poetry, "Ross Sings Cheree & The Animated Dark" out on Deep Vellum. (Theme song by Honor Nezzo)

In this episode, Claire and Annar chat with poet and writer extraordinaire, Julie Poole. This episode airs on June 1st, 2021, which is the publication date for Julie's first full-length collection of poetry, Bright Specimen, published by fellow small Texas press, Deep Vellum.  We had an enchanting conversation with Julie about her poems in Bright Specimen, which were inspired by her exploration of the Billie L. Turner Plant Resources Center at The University of Texas at Austin, the largest herbaria in the Southwestern United States. Julie takes us on a journey into the herbarium, describing what it was like to discover that space, and how it became a sanctuary for her where her poems began to blossom and multiply into this beautiful book.  Working at a small desk in the back of the building in the tower that was a sniper's outpost in the 1966 UT mass shooting, Julie writes in her afterword that "Nature is the path forward; all of the lessons of unity are there.”  To read more about Julie and her writing, including her incredible essays published in places like HuffPost, Publisher's Weekly and The Texas Observer, visit her website https://www.juliepoolejp.com Julie Poole was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.

My guest of Season 2, episode 3 is Amy Marie Spangler, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Istanbul-based AnatoliaLit Agency. Like several of my previous guests on this podcast, Amy took part in the Jerusalem Book Fair fellowship in which I took part as well, in 2017. A few months later, we started working with AnatoliaLit to represent our list in Turkey, and I'm very happy with our collaboration in this market which does have its challenges. This podcast episode turned out to be a speed-course on the state of the Turkish publishing market. But we also talked about Amy's activities as a translator from Turkish to English, and as an agent representing authors from Turkey and the surrounding regions internationally. One thing Amy pointed out after we recorded our interview, and which she suggested I clarify here, is that the curfew that she mentions is in place in Turkey at the moment, is in fact for weekends only, so it is not applied everyday. Thanks to this interview I learned a lot about Turkish publishing and hope you will, too! Here are some of the questions I asked Amy: What was the state of the Turkish publishing market before the pandemic started? What has happened since the start of the pandemic in terms of book sales in Turkey? Was the publishing world on a standstill at some point this year, and were publication dates postponed? Was there a higher demand for ebooks and audiobooks, as we have seen in other markets? Are there any genres that tend to sell well in Turkey, and others that don't? You also represent a select number of authors, in Turkey as well as internationally, and you translate from Turkish into English. Can you tell us more about those activities? What was the biggest challenge for you when you launched Anatolialit? How did you address this matter? Show Notes Amy's book recommendations: - My Autobiography of Carson McCullers by Jenn Shapland (Tin House, 2020); - Woodcutters by Thomas Bernhard, translated by David McLintock (Vintage Classics, 2019). Amy's and Szilvia Molnar's podcast: I Have to Tell You: The Letters (Also available on podcast feeds).

Chad shares his stupid dreams, Tom questions translators who work for AmazonCrossing and then want indie bookstores to help them out, and they both marvel over Deep Vellum's acquisition of Phoneme Media and A Strange Object (and the launching of the La Reunion imprint). It's a short episode, but filled with great moments, really lukewarm takes, and a revisiting of James Wood's takedown of Paul Auster.  This week's music is Sault's "Foot on Necks."

This week's episode is mostly inspired by an email from a listener about evaluating translations, and although Tom and Chad don't provide the hardest and fastest rules, they do have an interesting conversation about how they read and judge translated books. They also follow up on a few different threads from earlier episodes (like the neverending disappointment of The Great American Read), complain about these grants to giant publishers, and make some book recommendations. Other articles and media referenced in this episode: Jenny Hval's Paradise Rot (with the unnerving blood photo) Shelley Jackson's Riddance (with the cool cover graphic) Chad's post on Geography of Rebels by Maria Gabriela Llansol (and a dissenting view from Ben Moser) Chad's post on two Deep Vellum books from Oulipian writers In honor of Paradise Rot, this week's music is "That Battle Is Over" from Jenny Hval's Apocalypse, girl album.

This week, Chad and Tom talk about the "newly reimagined" BookExpo, the New York Rights Fair, the Albertine Prize (congrats to Emma Ramadan, Anne Garreta, and Deep Vellum!), the BTBA (congrats to Will Vanderhyden and Rodrigo Fresán!), likely shortlisted titles for next year's award, and more. Totally lacking in sports talk this week, which is weird, given the start of the US-less World Cup . . . Music this time is "If There's One Thing You Should Know" by  The Go! Team.

Tanya Wardell interviewed by Mark David Noble, recorded at Deep Vellum Books, Dallas, TX, 05/16/2017. Special thanks to James Vernon and the James Vernon Trio / house of jazz(South Padre Island), used by permission.

The founder of publishing house Deep Vellum and partner in Cinestate stops by the Old Monk to talk about why Dallas is so much better than Austin, what it's like to manage a metal band on the road, making movies, and his mustache.

Author Jacob Silverman talks about his new book, 'Terms of Service: Social Media and the Price of Constant Connection.' Next, Will Evans, the founder of Dallas indie publisher Deep Vellum is here to talk about what’s next with his growing literary arts powerhouse. Finally, we all went to The McKinney Avenue Contemporary (MAC) Saturday night to see Kitchen Dog Theater’s new play, 'The Firestorm.' We’ll go one-on-one — or, three-on-one — with the play’s director, Tina Parker. She’ll also tell us about her longtime work with Kitchen Dog and the group’s big upcoming move. Oh yes, and her role on that little TV series called 'Breaking Bad.'
