Devin Johnston writes in to announce the publication of William Fuller's Watchword from Flood Editions. To order with free shipping, click here.

In Watchword, Fuller plots the paths of consciousness with sensitivity and precision. Pivoting on what he has elsewhere called "transfer points almost too elusive to name," his poems shift—sometimes mid-word—between languages of commerce, the natural sciences, and seventeenth-century Neoplatonism (among others). Such moments of exchange elicit both wonder and horror; what emerges is a marriage of heaven and hell.
Chris Emery has commented on Fuller's recent poetry, "This is clearly a new metaphysical writing, sensual and transfiguring."

Established in 2001, Flood Editions is an independent press for poetry and short fiction based in Chicago. They publish four titles each year, including first books, volumes by established writers, and reprints. All our books are finely designed, smythe-sewn paperbacks.
