ALL IN BLACK BLOOD MY LOVE WENT RIDING by Ross Robbins

007

This is a new, second edition of Ross Robbins’s first chapbook for Two Plum Press, originally published in 2014. It features a new foreward by the author, some new design elements, and a new letterpress cover, the inverse of his simultaneously released The Three E.P.s.

Our original blurb:

Ross Robbins will soon take over the world. Or at least the small press poetry world. His work has urgency and fervor,  buoyancy and playfulness. He is a poet in every fibre of his body. You pick up this book or watch him read and know he was called to this occupation, the way people of the old world would just be something. 

From the review of the book at The Poetry Question:

Thank you Ross Robbins for splaying yourself open like the science class earth worm. For letting everything out in the open. For being the extroverted mass transit rider, the malevolent toothache. For knowing that sometimes, “love is a many vendored thing.”

Ross is the founder of Bone Tax Press and The Bone Tax Reading series. He has published several chapbooks, including I Want To Say How I Feel And Be Done With It Forever, 80 Poems, and Hot Bright Oyster. His full length book, The Three E.P.s, was published in 2018 by Two Plum Press. It includes a lengthy excerpt from the forthcoming Mental Hospital: A Memoir.
