THE MOVEABLE ONES

LRS told me that The Moveable Ones is almost sold out (no shit!), so go to Transmission Press to order your copy (at the bottom of the barrel malt liquor price of $3.50)...what some people have said about The Moveable Ones

"THE ONE THAT AMAZED ME THE MOST WAS JOHN SAKKIS' THE MOVEABLE ONES."
—Alan Davies

"[You] have a way of putting in the things that in other contexts would seem cheap (such as some internet lingo and such) but your poems enliven it, give it back to us in the sort of strangeness that it is. I'll be looking forward to the next thing on the Sakkis roster!"
—Michael Slosek

"i loved the first page..."
—Susan Gevirtz

"you're my fav poet!!!"
—Mom

"The highly prosodized units with broken lines in The Movable Ones really sizzle...They feel spoken, epistolary and often incredibly artful, imparting details of daily life, love, family, travel, sex and war, as well as the history of individuals and their efforts to transcend, mythologize and survive modern times. The work is careful, subtle and yet hot."
—Laura Moriarty

"Thats 7/8ths of a beer....plus, your my brother, poetic crap spills from your mout randomly like, all the time."
—James Sakkis

"cool poems"
—Carrie Hunter

"THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME! I'm gettin' me one!...I want everyone to read your new chapbook!"
—CA Conrad

"what does "exenterates" mean?"
—Angelos Sakkis

"i forget"
—John Sakkis

"The attention to the small sounds, so to speak, a la Zukofsky, is evident throughout the book--and exciting to see how clearly you can work through these...The pieces that attract me are the ones where the lines move as private narrative into each other, where names are named...It reminds me of the Zuk of late A and 80 Flowers, that even though the music of the lines are dense, they seem separated or stranded from each other...Mostly, however, the book impressed me. These pieces of yours are powerful, and your ear is attuned to the urgency of what you need to say. So, if I have not told you before, I got into reading it."
—Benjamin Hollander
