I am happy to announce that I have signed on with Lost Telegram Press, a Canadian publisher, for the publication of my novel, The Last Furies.
It is encouraging to have found a supportive home for what is an experimental, multi-form novel, and I was especially drawn to the “old school” vision and ethos of Lost Telegram, in that every book is hand-made (using recycled materials), with an eye toward creating singular works of art. Or, as reflected in their objective: publishing as a means to a means, and not as a means to an end…with the ideals of archiving as one of the press’s foremost goals.
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, writer, poet, performer, and playwright, John Biscello, has lived in the high-desert grunge-wonderland of Taos, New Mexico since 2001.
He is the author of four novels, Broken Land, a Brooklyn Tale, Raking the Dust, Nocturne Variations, and No Man’s Brooklyn; a collection of stories, Freeze Tag, two poetry collections, Arclight and Moonglow on Mercy Street; and a fable, The Jackdaw and the Doll, illustrated by Izumi Yokoyama. He also adapted classic fables, which were paired with the vintage illustrations of artist, Paul Bransom, for the collection: Once Upon a Time, Classic Fables Reimagined. His produced, full-length plays include: LOBSTERS ON ICE, ADAGIO FOR STRAYS, THE BEST MEDICINE, ZEITGEIST, U.S.A., and WEREWOLVES DON’T WALTZ.
