The Effacements/A Doctrine of Signatures

by Chris McCreary and Jenn McCreary

Poetry. Co-editors of IXNAY magazine, Chris and Jenn McCreary have written a book which they have split exactly down the middle, one half housing Chris's poems and ode to "Twenty-one Suggested Readings," and the other, when flipped upside down, revealing Jenn's delightfully minimal poetry. A DOCTRINE OF SIGNATURES / THE EFFACEMENTS is the fourth title in the Philadelphia Publishing Project, which celebrates the diverse literary community of Southeastern Pennsylvania. "the water is speckled celadon. The water/ is blue-white dandelion milk.// we are compelled by these: reflection, symmetry, things/ botanical & churchly" - from "nocturne in blue & silver: cremorne lights," Jenn McCreary.
