Do Not Be a Gentleman When You Say Goodnight by Mitch Sisskind (The Song Cave)
tosh.substack.com
The writer and poet Mitch Sisskind is a mystery to me, and I’m not sure why I picked this book out on the publisher, The Song Cave’s website, but it called out to me, more likely because of the book cover off what reminds me of a Manhattan city view. But then again, how do I know it is even New York City? Mary Austin Speaker did the book design, and that itself, the design work, is seductive. With that entrance, I read Amy Gerstler’s introduction, which is another great sign that this will be a great read. Then there’s a Michael Silverblatt and Lydia Davis blurb, so already this is literature that reads to me to be fun and adventuresome. And then I read Sisskind’s stories and poems, and everything is correct; this is marvelous.
