Author Description

Poetry. "Valerie Fox's idiosyncratic and often hilarious poems, with their playful shifts of syntax and thought, are shadowed over by a mysterious grace.. [Here is] a guide to seeing the world in a new and brilliant way. This is a poetry of multiple pleasures and surprises, rigorous to the core yet forever blissful"-Lewis Warsh. "If you think life came without a manual--you are holding it. Here, in The Rorschach Factory, are Valerie Fox's schematics, instructions, model kits, psychic consultations, advice. Patient and entertaining explanations; god in a Zen garden, channeling Audubon, Axl Rose, Tennessee Williams, the Cheshire Cat. Valerie Fox is Eurydice not looking back, with James Dean as Orpheus. This is a book to place with your important ones." - Leonard Gontarek Fox has lived and traveled around the world, teaching at several colleges and universities including Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan. She is a founding co-editor of 6ix. She is currently Visiting Professor in the Department of English and Philosophy at Drexel University in her home state of Pennsylvania and now resides in New Jersey.
