I worked with the good folks over at Rain Taxi Review of Books to celebrate the unique literary culture of Minnesota with a new chapbook. A Minnesota Book(ish) Miscellany is a collection of trivia, ephemera, and quotes about the state’s rich ecosystem of bookstores, booksellers, and generally passionate book people, such as:

• Memorable quotations from over a century of sources (Dylan to Dessa and beyond)
• Curated lists that assemble a prismatic picture of Minnesota’s wide-ranging attention to the book
• The stories behind the people behind the bookstores, from the biggest chains to the scrappiest indies
• Key dates in state literary history
• Picks for a Minnesota Writers Hall of Fame

You can order this nifty little edition from Rain Taxi here and soon also at local bookstores.
