Coach House spring launch

There was a launch party at Revival last night for Coach House Books' spring list. Above, at the book table, Coach House editor Alana Wilcox is told a secret by author Sherwin Tjia. Kyle Buckley wonders what it is.

I bought a copy of Sherwin's book, The World is a Heartbreaker, a collection of "pseudohaikus". What other new release this season contains 1600 poems and fits in your pocket? Here's Sherwin talking to Coach House's Jason McBride and drinking a Shirley Temple:

In fact all of the spring titles are worth checking out; if you like books and are feeling mildly flush, consider the Coach House Commitment, whereby you get all 6 + a backlist title for $100. Bargoon!

As often happens, more photos are on my flickr site. Go look.
