"Writer "
Ken Sparling
Most recent book, Book (Pedlar Press 2010) . Other books: For Those Whom God Has Blessed with
Fingers (Pedlar Press 2005) Dad Says He Saw You At the Mall (Knopf 1996), an
untitled
novel (Pedlar 2003) and a hand made book, available by special order, called
Hush Up and Listen Stinky Poo.
Banjo-picking, bike riding, father of two, husband to Mary, standard
shifting
Matrix driver and library worker
Same stubborn integrity of a Neil Young (This book's for you: untitled etc.)
Ruthless chopper of words (both his own and others)
One of the good guys working the Can/Lit production line
Selflessly encourages other writers
Puts a lot of energy into sentences and writes stories where nothing
happens,
though everything that might happen, occurs in the reader’s mind
(Oh yeah, I better mention that he edited my two Gutter Press books, Dis
Location and The Double and that we still meet up in the occasional ghost
paragraph)
