MY VIBE author JEREMY SIGLER interviewed by SAM JABLON @bombmag Congrats @spoonbillbooks "I gave a toast at a wedding about twenty years ago, and it was outrageously funny. I was the only Jew at this country club rehearsal dinner full of WASPS, and I got on a roll, my first roll ever, and people were falling out of their seats and whooping. It was a great joy. A total release. People were still complimenting my performance the next night at the wedding. Meanwhile my poetry, when I read aloud at readings, was beyond boring. Beyond mono-tonal. It was, frankly, depressing. You could have heard a pin drop. Around that time, I started evaluating this question of comedy, but it took me twenty years of writing before the qualities of that wedding toast fully contaminated my poetry, aiming to be funny but also somewhat emotionally overwhelming.” Design by @projectprojects @jablonjablon #jeremysigler #samjablon #myvibe #artbook #artbookdap @abbijacobson
