Description:
Blacksburg Books presents Book Launch with Alexander Dickow on Saturday, April 19, 2025.

Join us for the launch of Alexander Dickow’s newest book!

"The Distance, and You In It", a two part narrative and dramatic poem, features Hob, a demiurgic trickster akin to figures like Maui, Coyote, Panurge, Till Eulenspiegel, and so forth. Like these tricksters, Hob embodies an essentially amoral force of nature; he often speaks with the crooked words of someone who follows no rules. In part one, Hob pulls himself from the void and sets out in search of a suitable pair of boots. In the second part's series of dramatic tableaux, Hob meddles in the intimate relationship of a pair of genderless lovers, Anah and Aviv. This joyful, playful mythology is shot through with moments of longing and suffering.

The author will read from the poem, discuss its composition, and take questions from the audience.

Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
