CRAWLSPACE is a collaboratively written book-length poem by Seattle writers
Daniel Comiskey & C.E. Putnam, originally commissioned by Doug Nufer for
presentation at OseoO Gallery’s Leg to Stand On reading series. A bonus
compact disc, the Crawlspace Audio Companion, comprises a reading of the work
by the authors, set within an innovative sound collage conceived and produced
by C.E. Putnam and featuring the voice of Stanley Shiebert, Librarian in the
Arts, Recreation & Literature department of the Seattle Public Library.
DANIEL COMISKEY was pretty good at the dodging part in dodge ball, was coeditor
of Monkey Puzzle, a magazine of poetry and prose, and worked as literary
manager for The Poet’s Theater. His translations of Hu Xudong, produced in
collaboration with Chinese scholar Ying Qin, appear in Another Kind of Nation:
An Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Poetry. His work is also included in the
Seattle Writers Issue of Golden Handcuffs Review.
Seattle born, C.E. PUTNAM has stopped the Space Needle with his foot. He also
maintains P.I.S.O.R. (The Putnam Institute for Space Opera Research;
http://www.pisor-industries.org). Recent works include: Manic Box (2001);
Didyou ever hear of a thing like that? (2001); Things Keep Happening (2003);
Frolic: Selected Cosmic Sex Earthly Love Poems (1994-2007).
