For two decades he was managing editor of Berkeley Poets Workshop & Press; currently he is managing editor of Hip Pocket Press.

Border Songs
by
Lynch, Jim
Border Songs Jim Lynch, author of The Highest Tide, brings us another marvelous novel, one which inspires delight and wonder in the natural world, illuminates the follies of border rivalries and drug wars and examines the vagaries of small town life through the experiences of Brandon Vanderkool a beguiling amateur naturalist whose autism and dyslexia make him an unlikely border patrolman. Set in dairy country in Lynden and Blaine, this is a funny, sweet, yet cautionary tale for our time.--Mary Gleysteen, Eagle Harbor Book Company (Bainbridge Island, WA) |
