We’ve just listed a signed author’s proof of Thurston Moore’s brilliant selection of poems and lyrics, Stereo Sanctity, published in 2005 in a limited edition of 700 copies. Most of the lyrics are from Moore’s days with Sonic Youth. Not easily deciphered when listening to the music, it’s handy to finally have them in print… The poems are printed in a separate section, on a lighter shade of paper, and were for the most part previously unpublished. *** Next to Thurston Moore’s book is the first book of poetry by punk legend John Cooper Clarke. Styled like a telephone directory with all the lyrics overlaid on pages listing the names Cooper or Clarke and all addresses and phone numbers blacked-out with a pen. It includes 22 black and white photographs by Kevin Cummings, Tom Sheehan and Paul Slattery.
