APRIL 4, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

When:
Sunday, May 4th 
from 2:00 to 5:00p.m. 

Where:
John Christ Winery 
32421 Walker Rd. 
Avon Lake, Oh.

What:
Cleveland poetry publishing house vanZeno Press (www.vanzenopress.com)
has released The Black Book, featuring the lyrics of Cleveland songwriter
Cletus Black. vanZeno has published the work of poets such as Roger
Craik, Claire McMahon, J.E. Stanley and Mary Turzillo, but The Black Book
is the first in the Lyric Series, which places the focus on the poetry of
words put to music.

 The book gathers all Cletus original lyrics from the seven CDs
released since 1996. They are organized alphabetically by song title, as
well as by first line. As a lyricist, Black stands out as he eschews the
confessional and self-centered style favored by so many of his
contemporaries, and instead creates songs that read like short stories.
Character and mood are pre-eminent as Black creates vignettes that seem to
have more in common with film noir. Jesus just told me to move to
Virginia Beach. Youre a hellhound sniffing on a cold dark trail
Working Homicide down in FLA... Whether in a lyrical or narrative
style, Black is a master at the compact diss and sparely stated
scenario.

 Cletus Black will hold a book signing for The Black Book on Sunday,
May 4th at the John Christ Winery from 2:00 to 5:00p.m. John Christ Winery
is located at 32421 Walker Rd. in Avon Lake, Oh. The author will perform
pieces from the book, as well as songs from his soon to be released CD
Thats The Story .
