In March, Orphan Press Books is publishing my collection of essays, This Must Be Where My Obsession With Infinity Again. The press has started a Kickstarter campaign to assist the print run and distribution. Lots of swag on the table,
including a signed copy of the book, very cool t-shirts, a limited
edition print (based on the cover image) by artist and Orphan Press editor Greg Larson, the opportunity to have a custom-designed book cover, and more! Above is the Kickstarter link, which includes this video of me reading some excerpts from the book:
About the book, Dinty Moore, author of
Between Panic & Desire, says: "Joe Bonomo’s
This Must Be Where My Obsession with Infinity Began
is an arrestingly beautiful collection of brief meditations on family,
faith, and the intricate splendor of everyday life. Bonomo is a natural
storyteller with a poet’s ear for language, and his fresh, quirky, and
exhilarating view of our communal experiences is pure pleasure."
And David Lazar, author of
The Body of Brooklyn and
Truth in Nonfiction,
writes: "Imagine reading the story of a magician with a box, except the
box is a body, and what is conjured, differently each time, is the
nocturnal magic of memory, strange escapable birds flying past our eyes.
Joe Bonomo seems to have a Cornell box for each difficult, lyrical
moment he remembers. He is a theorist of the self’s construction out of
the past, full of resistance and the heartbreaking urge to yield. You’ll
want to lose yourself in his utterly necessary 'Margins of the Body'."
