BITTER INK

RAYMOND "MOOSE" JACKSON & BRIAN ZEIGLER

Both originally from  Detroit, cousins Brian Zeigler and Raymond “Moose” Jackson began collaborating while Brian was harbouring Moose in Vermont during Katrina evacuation.  While their doodling proclivities may have made them rustbelt exiles from the rest of their autoworker family, together they produce seductive aphorisms of wit and weirdness that provoke,  confound and celebrate a broad range of American subculture. They self-publish a comic-zine series named Bitter Ink. Press Street is now publishing their DIY baby as a chapbook by the same name.

Letterpress cover, hand-stitched binding, 96 pages, 5.5" x 5.5".

REVACUATION

BRAD BENISCHEK
A post-Katrina graphic novel of sorts by New Orleans artist Brad Benischek. Part fantasy, part social commentary, Revacuation is a visual response to the tragic and absurd events of year one as they unfolded.  Benischek's raw, immediate style, lush imagination and quirky humor make Revacuation a wholly original addition to the post-K cultural discourse.  Beginning in exile and ending with defiant hope for the future, it speaks to the realities an unrealities of the city like no other work.

Mark Yakich is the author of Unrelated Individuals Forming a Group Waiting to Cross (National Poetry Series, Penguin 2004), and The Importance of Peeling Potatoes in Ukraine (Penguin 2008).
