John Dufresne
I'm the One With the Blue Cap On (Rock Press, $15.00), is a posthumous collection of Jeffrey Knapp's poems, edited by John Dufresne. Culled from typed manuscript pages going back to the sixties, the poems span the length of his career, showing the early influence of the Beats and his fondness for the visual arts and pop culture. Throughout the range of his poems, Knapps's voice reveals itself as consistently strong, energetic and uniquely his own. Dufresne is the author of 4 novels, including Louisiana Power & Light and Requiem, Mass.; and two books on the craft of writing. He is also the editor of Blue Christmas; Holiday Stories for the Rest of Us (B&B Press, $17.00), the antidote to the forced frivolity, gratuitous gluttony, and crass commercialism of the holiday season. This collection of short stories by 17 authors, including Preston Allen, Steve Almond, Lynne Barrett, Colin Channer, Ann Hood, James W. Hall, and Les Standiford, offer up the gift of candor, suspense and substance--showing that Christmas can be both the best of times and the worst of times.
