"Jay Passer has been writing poems and fiction for the littles for twenty four years. This is his seventh chapbook of work about cohabitation with bums, whores and addicts in cities up and down the west coast. Startling, perverse, and absolutely original, Jay's work will entertain a wide array of readers and deep thinkers. Jay currently resides in a spartan shithole in Sacramento."  —Brian Pinsker

"I love my friend [Brian] but I think this is a bit overstated, a bit raw, a bit inaccurate, and a whole lot inappropriate. Perhaps he was too far on the box wine."  —Jay Passer

"Passer's poetry is the wine.  I'm passing it around at my next last supper." —Jesus Crisis

A cook by trade, poet by nature and vagabond at heart, Jay Passer doesn't own a car but enjoys driving fast.  Born in San Francisco in 1965, he loves cats but is allergic to them. His first 3 chapbooks were published by the now defunct OuterDark Press in Seattle, his 4th by Piss Pour Press. His 5th and 6th are e-chaps, available at Poetry Superhighway and Ten Pages Press.

      If you don't mind, I'll wait and mail it with RA Washington's chapbook, which should be out in the coming week, to save on postage.

        That would work... not a problem. You can wait and just send all three together if you wish. There is no hurry.
        I'm not familiar with Jay's work yet but looking forward to the introduction. And eager to see and read both Ra's and Channies chapbooks.

        Nice work you are doing with the Press Mr. B...
        Just sorry that your busy-ness makes you scarce.. that's all.

          Thanks!  2011 was mostly the year of the event, of the public appearance.  2012 will be mostly the year of the eventually appearing publication.
