Forget Rita by Paul Killebrew
Winner of the 2003 Chapbook Fellowship
Selected and introduced by John Ashbery
Killebrew buttonholes us like the Ancient Mariner, urging our complicity in his dark tale of anxiety and/or intimacy. We seldom learn exactly what happens, but we get a strong sense of how it happens—the telling of the story is the story.
—John Ashbery
Edition: 500 copies of the winning books were printed by the Prolific Group and designed by Gabriele Wilson.
