Flashlight
Gayl Teller's poetic eye works like a flashlight illuminating wider and wider swaths of reality and human interconnectedness. From the basketball courts in the Bronx beach club, where she met her husband, to her Hofstra University students, the people she befriends on her travels, like the tour guide in Prague, from her thoughts at her granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah, to her present Plainview community with its Sunday Y poets, dancers, mah jongg players, her language opens out with essential truths of the human condition, how despite vast cultural, ethnic, and individual differences, we share common needs, frailties, struggles, and dreams. Her flashlight embraces our common human family.

Gayl Jones
Gayl Jones is dedicated to the art of "verbal authenticity," stemming from her identification with her African American heritage. Amid widespread critical praise as well as pointed attacks for her controversial first two novels, Jones has shown a constantly evolving cultural consciousness. This first single-author study of Gayl Jones recovers the work of an under-examined yet immensely skillful contemporary writer. It offers a thorough examination of her technical innovations as well as her willingness to explore controversial subject matter. The book addresses such crucial themes as Afrocentrism, diasporas, mythopoesis, post-colonialism and globalization, and offers close readings of the aesthetic and political interchanges within Jones's fiction, drama, poetry, and criticism. Two interviews with Gayl Jones are included.
Evening Street Review Number 38
Evening Street Press is centered on Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 1848 revision of the Declaration of Independence: "that all men -- and women -- are created equal," with equal rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It recognizes that all people are created equal and focuses on the realities of experience, personal and historical, from the most gritty to the most dreamlike, including awareness of the personal and social forces that block or develop the possibilities of a new culture. Evening Street Press is no longer accepting work for publication. We will continue to vet and publish online work from incarcerated people for our DIY Prison Project.
