Dear Friends and Supporters of Wave Books,
 
Greetings to you all this December. As the year winds down, we are
excited to be announcing the publication of two new Wave volumes, as
well as the culminating two, for 2008: Franck Andre Jamme's New
Exercises and James Tate's Dreams of a Robot Dancing Bee. Please
continue reading for complete news and information on these titles.

AVAILABLE NOW:
NEW EXERCISES by FRANCK ANDRE JAMME, translated by CHARLES BORKHUIS
 
New Exercises, by French poet and visual artist Franck Andre Jamme
and translated by Charles Borkhuis, is a collection of eighty-one
short aphoristic poems, arranged into grids of exquisite
attentiveness and simplicity. Jamme has published numerous
illustrated books, books of poems and fragments since 1981, and his
work has been praised by such luminaries as Rene Char, Edmond Jabes
and Henri Michaux, among others.

Franck Andre Jamme will be exhibiting from the New Exercises series
at the Feature Inc. gallery in New York City this December, with an
opening on December 11th and a reading on December 13th. Feature Inc.
is located at 276 Bowery in New York City. If you would like
additional information on either event, please feel free to contact
us, or Feature Inc. at 212-675-7772. 

DREAMS OF A ROBOT DANCING BEE by JAMES TATE

Dreams of a Robot Dancing Bee is Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James
Tate's only collection of short fiction, originally published in 2002
by Verse Press, and reissued here in a newly designed softcover
edition. Of Dreams of a Robot Dancing Bee, The New Yorker writes that
"like forty-four test tubes, these stories contain a series of
meticulously prepared chemistry experiments ... Whatever the
dysfunction, Tate, the long-acclaimed poet, uses a disarmingly
pedestrian voice to lure the reader to a place of bizarre poignancy.
He makes eccentricity look good, as a poet should."
