Astonished that Publishers Weekly has put out this great review of DISPATCHES FROM THE AVANT-GARAGE. (What is happening I never get mainstream attention, my world is the weird world (good)) But what I hope is that more people will find out about the Alternative Press, and you know?, now they might!
Screenshot of Publishers Weekly review of Dispatches from the Avant-Garage: The Alternative Press, showing book cover on the left and review text on the right. Review reads:

—

“University of Bristol comp lit lecturer Kosick (Material Poetics in Hemispheric America) delves in this comprehensive account into the history of the Alternative Press, a Detroit-based indie that from the 1960s to the 1990s published cutting-edge experimental art, poetry, and literature. Its contributors—including Amiri Baraka, Robert Bly, Robert Creeley, Diane di Prima, Allen Ginsberg, Bernadette Mayer, and Eileen Myles—are a veritable who’s who of the late-20th-century American avant-garde, but in Kosick’s telling the press’s founding and early years are a story of local pride and tight-knit community. “We always wanted to publish our friends. Why would you want to publish your enemies?” quips Ken Mikolowski, who cofounded the press with his wife, Ann. It was over time, Kosick writes, that the Alternative Press built up trust with authors farther afield, becoming a flagship of the national and even the global avant garde. Kosick dedicates part of her account to highlighting the difficulty she encountered in her study of the press’s history, as much of its output has not been properly archived (a fact she chalks up partly to the underground press’s limited and idiosyncratic print runs, which ranged from bumper stickers to bookmarks, and partly to mainstream academia’s overlooking of broadsides printed in a city better known for churning out automobiles). It adds up to an evocative overview of a legendary publisher. (Mar.)”

Grateful beyond words to have these gorgeous, generous blurbs from Charles Bernstein, Andrew Epstein, and @nicksturm.bsky.social with me on the back cover of Dispatches from the Avant-Garage + more beautiful blurbs from John Yau and William Barillas inside (copied into comments below) 😭
Back cover of Rebecca Kosick's Dispatches from the Avant-Garage with blurbs:

"Marvelous to see these ephemeral bookmarks, broadsides, and cards made permanent and in living color. Kosick captures the uncollectible soul of the Alternative Press: its DIY ebullience, samizdat ethos, Detroit politics, and postal poetics. Ken and Ann Kikolowski didn't just run a press; they assembled a rollicking crew of poets and artists. Kosick is the perfect chronicler of this whooping barn dance of an archive in process, which bursts well-wrought urns. Dispatches from the Avant-Garage afürms that poetry can't be standardized but it can be set loose."
-Charles Bernstein, author of The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays and Comedies

"This is the definitive book on Ann and Ken Mikolowski's brilliantly uncatalogable Alternative Press, the thirty-year Midwestern publishing project whose experiments in poetry postcards, broadsides, bumper stickers, and more lent American poetry new intermedial forms. Incisive, companionable, and driven by Kosick's indexical archival knowledge, Dispatches from the Avant-Garage is a print culture poetry dream. The bumper sticker for this book should read: 'Nothing is ephemeral.""
-Nick Sturm, author of Publishing the New York School: Small Press Communities and American Poetry

"In this impeccably researched, sumptuously illustrated book, Rebecca Kosick dives into the wreck of the archive, uncovering a fascinating secret history of post-1945 American poetry and art through one radical, inventive small press with an unlikely home base In Detroit, far from the coasts. The Alternative Press 'will outlast the auto industry,' Allen Ginsberg once proclaimed and thanks to Kosick's lively, meticulous recovery project, it just might."
--Andrew Epstein, author of Beautiful Enemies: Friendship and Postwar American
