Review
"This book is certainly what its title claims it to be, spanning a wide range of voices and styles in poetry, short fiction and non-fiction pieces. It's difficult to tell if there is a specific Twin Cities' style of writing here--which would be good if you're seeking a consistent thread or school of thought that links all of these writers to a common locale from a national viewpoint. I happen to be in favor of reading for fun, so I enjoyed the anthology immensely. . .
A lot of the writers in these pages are not going to pop up at poetry readings in your local coffeehouse, so this may be one of the few regional venues you can view their work. If you want to get an idea of what's really happening in the Twin Cities so far as literature goes, this is definitely the book to pick up." Holly Day -- Pulse 10/8/97
From the Publisher
The idea for this book was to enable the reader to get a true vision of the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area using all the senses. In its purest form the reader could pull this guide out of their pocket and read "skol liquors" while standing in the actual skol liquor parking lot; or recite "passing through the gills of the world" while walking along the Mississippi river just off the West Bank of the University of Minnesota campus We've even provided maps to help you on you way. In putting the pieces together, however, the true magic of the book is that it stands up even if your in a one room apartment in Houston, TX. This is in due to the talented community of local writers and the high quality of their work. For eight years Spout Press has published the finest in contemporary experimental writing and has garnered a national following with its quarterly journal. "A Definitive Guide to the Twin Cities" is our debut book and it combines the freshness of the journal with our new commitment to publishing on a larger scale. It is our mission to create a community through words--a collage of beliefs and emotions that depict a truer vision of our culture.
