| Welcome to Paradise Islands Press, a new publishing venture by the Eat Write Cafe folks. We are pleased to announce that our first book is, "How to Apologize," by our old professor and poetry guru, David B. Axelrod. We've been planning strictly nonprofit venture for quite some time and couldn't think of a better way to start than publishing David's new book. Look here for future projects. |
| Here's praise for Dr. David B. Axelrod: "Axelrod is a treat." The New York Times "A Best Bet." Newsday "A Summer Best Pick." Small Press Review "One of the finest and most original American poets now writing." X.J. Kennedy "Whether Axelrod is reliving a moment of pleasure, or a time of bitterness and pain, the truth of his poetry is like life itself -- compelling." Louis Simpson |
