Latest Book

The Glass Book Valerie Fox Texture Press, 2010 Cover art: There’s One in Every Crowd by Pamela Hill available for $14 on Amazon.com or by emailing Texture Press (Paypal) ISBN-13: 978-0979757389 ISBN-10: 097975738X 81 pages Measures 8 x 6.25 inches

The Glass Book, Valerie Fox’s latest collection of brilliant poetry, scintillates a surrealism juxtaposed with a perfectly clear and grounded sensibility. An accident has to be somebody’s fault. Maybe, Dietrich straddles silent pictures and talkies hypnotically, but Fox is an acrobat, a high wire act, who is able to straddle and hold onto flashes of images and words, hypnotically, seemingly effortlessly; she risks but doesn’t fall, she never fails her readers. She startles and delights with a highly developed sense of humor, of deep-rooted truth. Fox’s work is as ‘normal,’ and as accessible and substantial as Bertha Palermo’s noodles and as unexpected as a fish disaster in your toaster oven. This work is no ephemeral thing.                                                                        —Lydia Cortés • Read Lynn Levin’s review on Rattle. • The lite version may be downloaded for free as PDF file: The Glass Book
