Summary
"In deciding what to republish of Al Brilliant's vast writings, I considered excerpts from his many journals, such as Bus Journal or Bookshop Journal, but I was continually drawn to the slim PAINTBRUSH pamphlet with the even slimmer poem "OIL." If not only for its applicable formatting for receipt, then for how the poem encompassingly depicts a life through a single substance, oil, and how that life--the life of a publisher--takes on a mythic quality, subsisting on that lubricating, penetrating, birthing, and protecting substance. This republication includes the biographical essay by alex benedict, "A Brilliant Life.""--Publisher's website.
