In late 2025 I published the collected poems of Australian Sinto Gypsy poet Lee Fuhler with the Housedeer Press.
You’ll find more information on the Housedeer website.
It was a great pleasure to be Ira’s editor on this project, which could be called his magnum opus, filled with prose pieces, diary entries, interviews, and more. Ira compiled the manuscript for this book many years ago, and at long last it is available to buy! Thanks to his great friend and collaborator Ira Landgarten, the book is gorgeously enhanced with photographs, including this cover image Ira Landgarten took of Ira in 1982. Ira Landgarten also contributed an introduction. Among the photos included is a collection of never-before-seen b&w Mylar portraits of Petra Vogt.
Please order Ira’s book from your favorite book shop. He deserves to be in stores, and special orders can interest booksellers.
I’m so happy to have been Indra’s co-writer for this book. The Autobiography of Indra B. Tamang—My Curious Years with Charles Henri Ford, which is available wherever books are sold.
Indra has one of the most interesting life stories of anyone I’ve ever met.
Animal Loves of My Life
by Gianni Menichetti
Having known many of the beings described in this book, it was especially fun to work on this with Gianni, and it was wonderful to work with Jacqueline Spadaro, who designed the book and its pretty cover. The cover photo of Foxy was taken by Vali Myers, and the book itself is full of beautiful illustrations.
In 2015 my novel, Stink, was published by the Folio Club. I wrote Stink in 1995 (!) and it sat like a time capsule in the closet for all that time. The story takes place in a decrepit and atmospheric neighborhood not unlike what Coney Island was like a few decades ago, but it’s really a composite of several American cities I knew at the time, including Seattle and Baltimore. Much of the detail I put into it was based on things that are gone now, which is part of what I hope will make it fun to read.
It was a privilege to serve as a manuscript editor for the book Vanishing New York, How a Great City Lost Its Soul. This is a subject matter close to my heart. Congrats to my friend Jeremiah Moss!
