Poetry. BREATHING BOLANO is two books in one--Tod Thilleman's BREATHING with Richard Blevins's FROM CORRIDO OF BOLANO. The books are bound tete-beche (or dos-a-dos), that is, without a "back" cover but instead with two front covers and a single spine entitled READING BOLANO. When a reader reaches the end of the text of one of the works, the next page is the (upside-down) final page of the other work.

Tod Thilleman moved to New York at the age of 18 and worked for a brief period with Pace Editions. He is the author of numerous poetry collections and the novel Gowanus Canal, Hans Knudsen. From 1991-1999 he was an editor at Poetry New York: a journal of poetry & translation. Richard Blevins's FOGBOW BRIDGE: SELECTED POEMS 1972-1999 was published by Pavement Saw. He edited two volumes of the Charles Olson/Robert Creeley correspondence for Black Sparrow. His dissertation is on Will Henry. He lives and teaches in western Pennsylvania with his wife, Martha Koehler, and their two daughters.
