Cam Scott & ryan fitzpatrick Dual Book Launch (MANOR's RANSOM / No Depression in Heaven)

It’s a poetry launch for music lovers! We celebrate the release of MANOR’s RANSOM by Cam Scott (ARP Books) and No Depression in Heaven by ryan fitzpatrick (Talonbooks). A poetry collection of politically-inflected personal collage and city poems, MANOR’s RANSOM is the second installment of an ongoing life-poem by Cam Scott that began with ROMANS/SNOWMARE. Gathering scraps of language in both open prose and verse, it sketches social space with psychological enclosure, skipping with ease through moments both mundane and charged. MANOR’s RANSOM guides the reader through its interminable tunnel, but offhand twists and sound play distract from the sadness of an unending track by nudging the tone just to the left of doom in surprising and inventive ways. Written during country music’s most recent ascent in popularity, No Depression in Heaven by ryan fitzpatrick has ten “tracks” that each tip language out of key. Dwelling on whether it is best to look backward to a seemingly better past, longing for a way to make things great again, or to stare into the abyss of the future, gambling that entry into paradise will provide release, No Depression in Heaven riffs on our latter-day anxiety, asking how we respond to bad times and what it means to hold onto something toxic because of the comforts it affords.
