A Conversation with Corey Mesler
by Lisa Zaran The Beat June 26, 2006 reprinted in the orthogonal review September 28, 2006An excerpt from the interview:
It is through your poetry that I know you best, but recently I came across a piece in Turnrow, an excerpt from Following Richard Brautigan. Tell me a little bit about this. Will this become a book?
That is the first section of my unpublished 3rd novel of the same name. It is with my agent if my agent actually exists which I often doubt.
After its appearance in Turnrow it won the Plan B Press Beat Writing Chapbook contest and was published by them in a limited edition chapbook with a cover picture which was meant to echo the cover of Brautigan’s great novel, The Abortion, a photo shot by my friend Alisa. And to all I wish to say that since that cover photograph I’ve lost 20 pounds. Really.
