About Me

I write. I write books and reviews and emails. I write poems and essays and grocery lists. I write because I am. I am because I write. I can be found at www.burkesbooks.com as well as my new site www.coreymesler.com.My two novels, Talk: a Novel in Dialogue, and We Are Billion-Year-Old Carbon, can be found also at the place of their birth, Livingston Press: http://livingstonpress.uwa.edu/I also have lotsa chapbooks available.My agent is Linda Roghaar, at http://www.lindaroghaar.com/COREY MESLER once wrote a novel called : A Novel in Dialogue. It is entirely in dialogue. Some people liked it. Few people bought it. Nevertheless he still tries to limn the infinite, or at least take a potshot at the lengthy. He now has a 2nd novel a hippie amalgam called We Are Billion-Year-Old Carbon. He hopes the same nobodies who didn't buy his first book will not line up to not buy his second. With his lovely and more centered wife he owns Burke's Book Store in Memphis TN, one of the oldest independent bookstores (1875) in the known universe.

My Blog

I just thought you should know.....

That John Grisham said this about my first novel: "Talk is original and evocative.  Mesler has a sharp ear not only for how we say things, but, more importantly, for what the words really mean....

Wanna talk books?

A lot of interesting people here in myspace, a lot of lovely lovely women, a lot of talk of partying and music and youthful zest. I'm wondering if anyone still reads books and likes to talk about them...
