Remixer’s process: There were certain things that had to happen to the material.

Andy Devine’s WORDS (Publishing Genius, 2010) has been called “amazing,” “genius,” and “a joy to experience.” And one critic noted that, “Devine has dismantled the English language.” Devine’s alphabetical fictions and essays have appeared in a variety of literary magazines, including New York Tyrant, Unsaid, elimae, Everyday Genius, and Taint. In 2002, Devine was awarded the Riddley Walker Prize (for a work that ignores conventional rules of grammar and punctuation). In 2007, he published his first chapbook, “As Day Same That the the Was Year” (Publishing Genius). In 2009, Devine was awarded The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Award (for fiction in the face of adversity). Andy Devine Avenue — in Flagstaff, Arizona — is named after him.
