6/9: Improvisations in Dependence is a chapbook by Jesus Crisis published on July 4th 2009 by Crisis Chronicles Press in a limited edition of 69
signed and numbered copies. It consists of poems and prose associated with June 2009, the fifth
anniversary of the author's release from prison, and addresses
the recent deaths of celebrities like Michael Jackson and David
Carradine. It also touches upon what it's like for a man who knows he poses no threat to society to have
to register as a sex offender.
After the initial print run, we printed a number of unnumbered copies on demand. Thus there are approximately 200 total copies in print. As of May 2014, we still have three copies left for sale, and when they are gone we will not reprint it. UPDATE: This chapbook is now out of print.
6/9: Improvisations in Dependence is 14 pages, 8.5" x 5.5", inkjet printed on white paper and saddle staple bound with pale blue card stock. Design and cover photo by the author/publisher.
