"'By the fear in her face I don't think she knows realness, ' writes Blake Nemec in his disarmingly original book Sharing Plastic. And what's real here is the "banter" of sex and hotel workers that in spectacular glimpses reveals their behind-the-scene intimacies and the endless negotiations needed to get paid, stay alive, and avoid arrest. The specter of violence always at the margins of their swagger and wit, we listen to them as they arrange their 'bodies of work' in latex, or assemble pillows on beds (because 'pillows are my paycheck'), as they discuss how to 'organize dating' while on a wine-tasting tour, or urge a co-worker troubled by a John who looks like Brad Pitt to 'pretend he was Judith Butler.' Smart and funny, Nemec's debut book of poetry shows us that 'talk is rope, ' that individual voices find their strength braided together in common purpose. I urge you to listen."--Rosa Alcal
"Reading a blake nemec book you realize what people must have felt after a month or two in Warhol's Silver Factory--simultaneously the multimedia blitz, the making of a dozen different movies around you, the pillows of silver mylar floating through air, the silkscreened flowers, and the soul-shattering buzz of being in the most exciting place on earth. Puzzling, but definitely thrilling. nemec's work is filled with stories and dialogue, but also analytic passages that combine raw bioenergy with Noel Coward wit. And so sexy "Their torsos/ / swooshed past each other's/ images, but bent towards one another's mouths lipping off...." This broken mess of exquisite diamond dust, this altar of soul and desire, will give God a new face." - Kevin Killian
"In Sharing Plastic, blake nemec opens our hearts to those who do the hard and marginal work of the world, putting their "hired hands" and other body parts into service for us, whether as domestic workers, sex workers, or others who live on the razor's edge of risk. "Our lips/won't get sealed with service/fees and arrest/threats will not clip our echo," nemec declares on behalf of his people. These poems are as generous and expansive in their plasticity as the resilient voices that animate them. And the visuals in these pages--vibrant images of bodies, forms, and altered documents--sinuously intersect with nemec's text to counterpoint and complicate the book's empathic vision. Sharing Plastic is a resonant and expressive book of grit and grace." --David Groff, author of Clay
------------------------------
Sharing Plastic is a gushing homage to each worker who has feared arrest. It is a confrontation to an undiscerning view of migration and whiteness. At times playful while others severe, this hybrid poetry/fiction collection works to lengthen sonic intimacies between unprotected workers by snaking such dialogues or scenarios next to one another as one resonating force.
Different from literature that finds poetic tension between informal trade workers and their bosses, or poems that distantly paint a marginalized worker scenario as dramatic, these episodes hone in on the loving or volatile worker to worker exchanges.
The characters and voices in these vignettes cinematically traverse between El Paso, San Francisco, Oakland and Chicago. In a political time when people are bracing themselves each time they turn on the news, Sharing Plastic, alongside other voices which only know flux, suggests honoring those who have long known how to navigate the temporary.

Описание: Completely updated and expanded through the 2019 baseball season In a game that has been our national pastime since the 1850s, there have been countless changes, additions and adaptations to the rules of baseball. But while the sport has altered considerably in recent years, its essence is still deeply rooted in its early history. Completely revised and updated through the 2019 baseball season, David Nemec has brought back into print his renowned book The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated. Along with providing a thorough investigation into the rules of the game and how they came to be, Nemec explains the reasoning behind many of the modifications, both large and small, and in so doing furnishes numerous examples of the specific instances that led to a particular rule being created afresh, rewritten or excised from the rule book entirely. Whether we're talking about the uproarious "Pine Tar Game," harrowing home plate collisions, or the constant fine tuning through the years to maintain an equilibrium between hitting and pitching, fans of all ages are given a comprehensive handbook of the pivotal incidents that shaped the game as we know it today. But The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated is much more than a textbook on the rules. It is rich with illustrative anecdotes throughout the game's long history that feature many of baseball's most famous players, umpires and teams as well as some of its most unsung. With photographs that help bring to life some of the movers and shakers in the ways the game has evolved over time, all fans of the sport will welcome adding this book to their libraries. As The Glory of Their Times author Lawrence S. Ritter said, "This is one of the most entertaining baseball books I have read in a very long time. Any baseball fan, young or old, will find it fun..."
