Willie Perdomo starts publishing imprint

This is great news from E-drum...

Dear Friends & Colleagues--

Recently, I started an imprint with Ram Devineni, president and publisherof Rattapallax Press. The imprint, Cypher Books, will be devoted to publishingthe best in contemporary spoken word/poetry, fiction and creative non-fictionwith the occasional reprint of a classic. (If anyone has seen or heard fromDarius James, author of ?Negrophobia? please tell him to give me a shout).When asked what comes to mind when you hear ?Cypher Books,? Paul Beatty,a Rattapallax contributor replied, "A clandestine room where people with190 IQs are decoding government secrets and rapping during the lunch break.?His response was the perfect mission statement. Cypher Books, in keeping with the Rattapallax vision, aims to create dialogue through art.
