Kathy Acker fan? I can’t find any other links or sources online [yet] that verify that Chiasmus Press really is releasing the book, titled “I’m very into you,” this year, but I’d love to read it if they do, since it purportedly will feature “email correspondence that took place in 1995 between writers Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark.”
At The Rusty Toque they break down what the book involves, including the intro from John Kinsella.
Here’s a sample Acker email:
