No Other Business Hereis the first major collection of the short poems exchanged between John Brandi and Steve Sanfield, two poets deeply situated in their respective geographies: New Mexico's Rio Grande Valley and California's Sierra Nevada. These plaintive, often whimsical three-liners are full of chuckles and wakeups. Originally penned on scraps, postcards, in the margins of personal correspondence, even scribbled inside passports during world travels, these missives record moments of spark, fleeting essences of a transitory world, unavoidable folly revealing truths at the core of slapstick stumbles. Nothing sacred here! These poets write to stay alive, to see where theyâ™ve been, to give clearing for the next step.
An original interpretation of a Chinese folktale which explains the presence of the man in the moon.

Master storyteller Steve Sanfield has listened with fond ear to the centuries-old echoes of a town 3where kindness and sweetness and silliness2 have dwelt side by side from the beginning. In the town of Chelm, 7 and 7 are 11. It1s a matter of local logic, and you can find the proof of it on page 69. In the town of Chelm, Berish the Shammes, so his feet shouldn1t mar the beauty of any newly fallen snow while alerting merchants to the coming Sabbath, stands on a table and is carried aloft by 4 other Chelmites. If you think this sounds foolish, please turn to page 53. If you like riddles, pages 74 and 75 present some of Chelm1s best. If you enjoy sights, Russian artist Mikhail Magaril1s merry and touching view of Chelm will enlighten you.
When Zundel the tailor wears out his beautiful coat, he continues to make smaller and smaller garments from the material that is left.
