Description

This is the first debut novel Small Beer has published so we will push to get it in any seasonal round-ups. Parzybok will do a reading tour. He is well-known in the Portland area, a literary hotbed featuring Tin House, Powell's, and many other literary organizations. Parzybok is the brain behind numerous eccentric and successful projects which have become nation-wide phenomena, including Gumball Poetry, which places poetry gumball machines in cafes, bookshops, and galleries around the country. Strong internet presence: Parzyboks micro-agency (www.ideacog.net) is home to art experiments, activism resources, and a web development enterprise.
