VRZHU in the City Paper

VRZHU is happy to note a nice bit of press.  After a great interview with Michael Gushue (or as he's known in our more Ramones-apeing moments, "Michael Vrzhu") The Washington City Paper Arts Editor Amanda Hess featured our efforts in a nice piece titled

"Pertinent Press: How does an upstart poetry publisher pass the bullshit test?"

I can only assume that our inclusion in the piece means we passed the test.  We were delighted to be included with two other great publishing stalwarts whose work we respect and admire, Reb Livington of No Tell Books and Maureen Thorson of Big Game Books. 

And yes, that would be our two mugs on the front page of the City Paper's website.  Nice photo props go to City Paper photographer Darrow Montgomery who managed to make us look earnest and bookish all at once.  I was so getting a crick in my neck from that photo-shoot.  Sadly he didn't take any of my "pouty lips" poses.

Now if you came to the site to see more of VRZHU, check out our fine books!
Kim Roberts' The Kimnama and Hiram Larew's More Than Anything are still available and the best way to begin the new year!  To read a sample from the books and to read the raves from reviewers visit the links above our our books page [here].

And if you're an Edgar Guest disciple here to express your thunderous outrage at Michael Vrzhu's slams on the venerable home-loving poet, leave a comment too.
