Announcing The Publication of “UnInvented Ear” by Leon Fedolfi.

April 7, 2026 by Henry Stanton

I prefer to let other insightful readers (and reviewers) tell our followers about a book we are publishing. When the publisher of a book works to convince you the read is worth your while, there is always the risk of the sound of sales. In this case though I want to encourage our readers myself to buy and read this book. Leon Fedolfi is surely one of my favorite poets. He would be on that special shelf with Whitman, Williams, Bukowski, Creeley, Stafford, Ashberry, (a few others) if my library weren’t such a mess. James Fedolfi is a unique poet with language and imagery and understanding that can twist you around with its fine expression. “How did I get here this way!” I love it when I read poems and have to struggle to get my feet back under me. Enjoy!

— Henry Stanton, Poet, Painter, Publisher

Fedolfi’s book is a strange, potent, and dangerous demolition packet, carefully constructed to raze the usual artificial structures that we think our minds need to make sense of the world… He doesn’t waste time with the often petty, transient concerns of the small, subjective self, but is always concerned with the larger, collective questions of being human.

— Dave Sims, Editor, The Raw Art Review

In Uninvented Ear: Selected Poems, Leon Fedolfi conducts a symphony of sound and image with a magical lyricism in which “bird wings recur into birds.” These poems explore a hint of the quotidian long enough to carry us “where astronaut owls/see beyond the moon.” They persist on naming what is beautiful even while their “feet are hurting like new teeth.” They pulse with war both on the battlefield, and in the theatre of the mind. And yes, these poems leap from many voices, so that they might shine varied lights to reveal the darkness. To enter these poems is to enter the multisensorial of a strange new world that somehow divides its mirror into this one, reaching for universal love. Read this book to tune your UnInvented ear.

“An Accident of birth”

a Memoir by T. Alex Blum

When a stranger who turns out to be his niece receives an extra 23andMe test by mistake, it changes Alex Blum’s life forever.

At the age of sixty, Alex Blum made a life-altering discovery: he was the eldest of four biological brothers he never knew existed. Born in 1955, Blum had always known he was adopted, yet the secrecy of the era kept every detail of his origins sealed. Without a court order, he spent decades without a single clue about where he came from, or why he had been given up.

Raised by a wealthy family on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Blum grew up surrounded by privilege but plagued by a deep sense of disconnection. He often felt out of place and emotionally unmoored, longing for a sense of belonging that never arrived.

Having built a career helping others tell their stories, first for brands as a commercial producer and then as a feature film producer with credits including Behind Enemy Lines and Flight of the Phoenix for 20th Century Fox—Blum finally turns the camera on himself in An Accident of Birth.

More than a memoir of adoption and reunion, An Accident of Birth explores the universal emotional landscape shared by adoptees everywhere. With candid, affecting prose, Blum examines the pressures of “adoptee gratitude,” the quiet ache of alienation, and the lifelong search for identity, connection, and home.
