Chronic, Chronos, Kairos is the second chapbook released by Damask Press. Chronic, Chronos, Kairos contains five poems by Jacob Russell from his expansive, multi-volume work Poem to the End of My Days and drawings by Becket Flannery printed on a series of unbound cards. The chapbook is printed in an edition of 100 using a Vandercook Universal I press.   

JACOB RUSSELL was born in Chicago a long time ago. He arrived in Philly on a Vespa motor scooter in 1964 and never found the exit. He’s been wandering the streets of Philly every since searching for Found Things. Spirit Stick says: “Found Things may be given shelter, but lose all their powers if possessed.” Spirit Stick says: “Found Things can never be lost–were you to discard all Things you claim to own–that they be Found & granted their freedom, we might yet save ourselves from self-destruction.” For links to Jacob’s published writing, check out his blog, Jacob Russell’s Barking Dog.
