Catalog of Titles

Rubberroom
by Yago Cura
$5.00



Rubberroom
is a colletion of poetry about the reassigment centers that NYC's Department of Education uses to administratively punish teachers that have been arrested or accused of committing a crime.

Our narrator spends two weeks there in 2004 but is helped along by various people who saw that a wrong was being committed. But, he was extremely lucky; supposedly, there are teachers who have been at these reassignment centers, or Rubberrooms, for years.

Rubberroom is a cycle of poems written like a play. The plot is driven by acts and scenes and there is one narrator that monologues his way to understanding the motives behind the actions that landed him in the Rubberroom.

Rubberroom has been passed around public high schools in the Bronx by first year teachers, administrators, and haggard veterans since 2005. In addition, the narrator has addressed the 2005 and 2006 class of NYC Teaching Fellows at Lehman College, and his story comprises the much larger story titled "Human Resources" that aired on This American Life in February of 2008.


 


Ode by Yago Cura
$5.00

Ode is a 6 page zine that is comprised of an Ode to Ronaldo that the poet Yago Cura wrote. To be sure, none of the pages contain poems to read, but all the pages comprise the ode that can be found when one unfolds the zine. In other words, Ode, is an abstract zine created by folding one ode written by hand into a 6 page zine. Confused enough? Good.
