Ken Sparling

"One time I came into work at Fairview...and my desk was gone."




A friend recently notified me of a great interview with Ken Sparling up on The Chapbook Review. Ken Sparling talks about working with Gordon Lish when he was at Knopf (“You’re just spinning your wheels, Sparling”), being published by J.A. Tyler's Mud Luscious Press, and working as a librarian (As soon as you make a space truly public, you’re going to get a mess of stuff happening there.)

i raised that flag for you to take credit where credit is due. And when a ken sparling revival is underway, you can take credit for that too because i think you are the only one who owns that stinky poo butt book.
