You Among the Coordinates

by Greg Masters

Overview

A collection of so-called short stories recounting 40 years in the author's existence in the East Village of Manhattan – from hormone-fueled escapades and bewilderment to a perhaps slightly more mature assessment of peculiarities. The stories celebrate girlfriends in the witness protection program, sneaking into movie theaters, what should have been said to Jimmy Fallon and one in the voice of I.B. Singer. The book has received three five-star reviews from online review site Readers' Favorite.

About the Author

When he arrived in Manhattan's East Village in the mid-1970s, Greg Masters pounded rock and roll drums in basement dives, "alternative" spaces, CBGB and Irving Plaza and attended readings and workshops at the Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church and the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Along with Michael Scholnick and Gary Lenhart, he edited the poetry magazine Mag City from 1977-1985. In 1977-78, along with a crew of poet comrades, he produced a cable TV show, Public Access Poetry. From 1980-83, he edited the Poetry Project Newsletter. He has worked for a number of book, magazine and web publishers, beginning as a proofreader and copy editor and then for the last 20 years as a managing editor. This is his seventh book from Crony Books.
