Michael Perkins

The following biography appears inside the cover of Essex House 0101 BLUE MOVIE, Perkins first published novel:

MICHAEL PERKINS was born in Michigan (Lansing), and raised in Ohio ("the banks of the Ohio, as a matter of fact -- and that has made a difference"), and presently lives in New York City (#4B), with his wife ("who is pregnant and it looks like twins").  After picking up a B.A., he became a caseworker, then a teacher, before devoting full time to his typewriter ("I spend my days in bed writing novels and my nights on Times Square").  At 25, he is a strong figure on the avant-garde literary scene, not only as an author-poet but as the editor of Tompkins Square Press (which recently published Ray Bremser's remarkable "jail diary poem" ANGEL), and the eminent East Village-based magazine DOWN HERE (responsible, among other things, for the American liberation of the erotic writings of Guillaume Apollinaire).  His work has appeared in many of the underground literary reviews (including the New York Times) and he has publshed two books of poetry, THE BLUE WOMAN and SHORTER POEMS.  BLUE MOVIE is his first novel and he is currently writing a second, "more serious work," which will be published by Essex House in the near future.


New titles will be added as they become available.

How to order

This is a self-made website by little old me, and while it might be big, it is not sophisticated.  The little buy icon icon takes you to a generic order form where you can type in the author, title, price, and indicate whether you would like to send me a check, money order or credit card payment.  I will confirm availability via e-mail, and once I've received payment, I'll ship the book.  It's that easy.  If you have questions,  please don't hesitate to ask  via email.

Condition Grades

There's a standard bookseller vocabulary, with terms like Fine, Very Good, Good and Poor to assess condition (to see these terms defined, click on the link above).  Most of my books are in Very Good or better condition, and I tend to overemphasize their flaws so that any surprise is a pleasant one.  Feel free to ask questions, and if the book isn't in the condition described, you may return it for a full refund. 

Wants Lists

If I don't have the book you seek in stock, I will retain your book search in my wants files and email you when I do have a copy for sale. If you don't hear back from me immediately, that probably means I don't have a copy right now.  But fear not,  I keep extensive files and never stop looking....  so send me your request;  you've got nothing to lose!
