The tale of two young men transported and altered by a foreign conflict, strands of alternate past and future are posed in counterpoint to a fragile reality in Canned Tuna. Highland Vietnam, the Treasure Valley of Idaho and the mouth of the Columbia River provide the materials for a gripping fugue of hope and dread, of the collective wounds of war and the healing power of community.

Short Fiction. "In SHADOW BONES, Memmott pursues vectors that glance through sci-fi and fantasy on into other magical and imaginative spaces, never ceasing to pose the central ontological question: 'What does it mean to be human?'"--Brian Evenson. "For David Memmott, Speculative Northwest's secret weapon, reality in our age of Rust and Robots is about as stable as one of those particles in whats left of a Chernobyl core: always on the verge of shimmering into something that will take your breath away with its mythic resonance, wise magic, and compassionate imaginative fire. Onto the unknown!"--Lance Olsen. David Memmott is a Rhysling Award winner and a Fishtrap Fellow.

Wordcraft of Oregon

<p>New collection of poetry by Northwest poet and publisher. "David Memmott's GIVING IT AWAY is mature, sophisticated, visionary work. These diverse poems range far and near, inside and out of time and place. They intimately explore what we all want to know: How does the dream of life shape our every waking moment?" -- George Venn, author of THE MAGIC CIRCLE "David Memmott's sense of place extends from his piece of ground in northeastern Oregon to the space-time continuum of the universe itself. By turns prophetic, polemical, sensual, and humorous, these poems speak in stalwart witness to the outer and inner landscapes that he calls home." -- John Daniel, author of THE FAR CORNER "GIVING IT AWAY is infused with the generous and expansive spirit its title evokes...A fine and fresh contribution to the literature of the Northwest." -- Barbara Drake, author of BEES IN WET WEATHER and WRITING POETRY</p>
