Released on = May 16, 2007, 8:41 am

Press Release Author = Jessica Joy Reveles

Industry = Entertainment

Press Release Summary = Los Angeles, CA—May 16, 2007— Jessica Joy Reveles explores
traditional and emerging notions of female sexuality with the publication of The Truth About Queens, in conjunction with Poet Joi Publications (www.thepoetjoi.com) and Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books. Using a unique combination of experimental line breaks, local images, and accessible language, Reveles uncovers memory while developing immediate and tangible images that connect the reader to the current time and act of remembering.

Press Release Body = The Truth About Queens challenges conventional form with poems that depart from verse and move toward prosaic arrangement. Reveles employs devices such as lists, vignettes, and lyrics to convey stories about girlhood and womanhood threaded together by memories, both real and imagined.

Reveles wrote The Truth About Queens to give voice to memory from a woman’s perspective. She came to Lulu because she wanted to be in control of the publishing process, and found that Lulu also afforded the opportunity for her to publish her work under Poet Joi Publications, her newly formed publishing organization. The Truth About Queens is available for purchase at www.lulu.com, in a marketplace filled with other unique and wonderful surprises.

“Everything is deliberate in my writing, from the specific language employed in a given poem, to line breaks, syntax, punctuation or lack thereof, to overall presentation,” said Reveles. “Each of these components works toward constructing new memory, new experience through the reader’s engagement with a poem.”
