Belladonna Books

Belladonna Books

Belladonna Books began as a project of Belladonna*/Belladonna Series (See Belladonna Series) in 2000. David Kirschenbaum, a frequent attendee to the early Belladonna Reading Series, and the publisher of Boog Literature, offered to co-publish commemorative literature for each monthly event. The first publications were by kari edwards, for the May 4, 2000 reading at Bluestockings (bookstore). Following the edwards postcards, Belladonna Books began publishing photocopied 'chaplets' for each reading, in short runs of 50 - 126 stressing the energy of the moment in time when they are produced. Therefore, most titles quickly go out of print.
