Textile City Memories by Paul Cordeiro

PRE-ORDERS OPEN SOON

Textile City Memories maps a New England mill town through decades of change — from cotton mills and speakeasies to gang signs and contaminated water reports. Paul Cordeiro writes from inside the place, not above it. These poems carry working-class life, civic neglect, and private tenderness in the same breath. A librarian stamps books through the onset of carpal tunnel, a bakery saturates an entire square with the smell of Portuguese sweet bread, and a zoo renovates but still cages the bald eagle.

This is a collection that remembers without nostalgia, and observes without looking away.

An interview with Paul Cordeiro about Textile City Memories will appear in The Small Run, the occasional newsletter from Analog Submission Press.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Paul Cordeiro has travelled the eastern seaboard of North America, from Disney World to Toronto, from Cape Cod to Niagara Falls. Retired from footwear and home goods sales, he lived for seventeen years in the textile city of this collection. He now sits beside a Yorkshire terrier. On walkouts, he scratches out haiku and tanka.
