[Tony Barnstone]

I am happy to say the Tupelo Press has accepted my book of poems, Pulp Sonnets, for publication in 2015. It was a finalist for Tupelo's Dorsett Prize, 2014. This is a book I've been working on in various forms for twenty years, and it's based on classic pulp fiction, Gothic literature, B movies, and comic books, featuring extended sonnet sequences in popular genres such as sci fi, horror, action-adventure, and Cold War spy fiction. It has been illustrated by the terrific Iranian artist Amin Mansouri III, and with some luck the book will be accompanied by a CD containing various multimedia collaborations with Beau Blue (animation), Jennifer Sage Holmes (radio play), Dorothy Notrobot AKA Dorothy Tunnell (graphic novel), plus a reader's/teaching guide. A number of the poems have also been worked on here at the Eratosphere. Thanks, Tony
