A Testament to Love & Other Losses
Poetry. "The suspicion that writing will be the last utopia is wonderfully fulfilled by the extraordinary promise and quivering present of Wade Stevenson's lyrical, deep and lustrous oeuvre. Here is a writer of extraordinary adventure and imagination and in this book of poems he portrays the cycles of the human condition recognizable to us all. Lyric in its intensity, evenly paced, the delivery is light and swift, well suited to the tension and humor that are so much a part of this work. The states of being alive, in love, alone, in an embrace, a companion of small animals, and the life of a poet are all explored. The commingling of images is a prominent theme within this book, a doubling of ideas, as a mirror looking at itself to reveal the nakedness of all things" Geoffrey Gatza."
Against Expression
Charles Bernstein has described conceptual "poetry pregnant with thought." Against Expression, the premier anthology of conceptual writing, presents work that is by turns thoughtful, funny, provocative, and disturbing. Editors Craig Dworkin and Kenneth Goldsmith chart the trajectory of the conceptual aesthetic from early precursors such as Samuel Beckett and Marcel Duchamp through major avant-garde groups of the past century, including Dada, Oulipo, Fluxus, and language poetry, to name just a few. The works of more than a hundred writers from Aasprong to Zykov demonstrate a remarkable variety of new ways of thinking about the nature of texts, information, and art, using found, appropriated, and randomly generated texts to explore the possibilities of non-expressive language. --Book Jacket.
Verde Que Te Quiero Verde: Poems after Federico Garcia Lorca
Verde Que Te Quiero Verde is an anthology of poems after Federico Garcia Lorca, the great Spanish poet. The authors reflect on Lorca or embody his spirit as they consider what is happening in the world around them right now. Lorca himself was assassinated in 1936 for being who he was--an artist and a rabble-rouser. He refused to conform. Let's refuse with him. Contributors include: Jim Harrison, Sandra Alcosser, Ralph Angel, Arlene Biala, Lorna Knowles Blake, Jolene Brink, Heather Cahoon, Eduardo Chirinos, Chris Dombrowski, Annie Finch, Henrietta Goodman, Tami Haaland, Katherine Hastings, Claire Hibbs, Bob Kaufman, Adrian Kien, Keetje Kuipers, Romy LeClaire Loran, Antonio Machado, Kaylen Mallard, Tod Marshall, Rachel Mindell, Sharon Olds, Natalie Peeterse, Amy Ratto Parks, Shann Ray, Ryan Scariano, Karin Schalm, Daniel E. Shapiro, Sharma Shields, ML Smoker, Catherine Theis, Nance Van Winkle, Miles Waggener, and Ellen Welcker.
The Other Latin@
"With cultural roots in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, or a variety of other locales, people of Hispanic origin in the United States are too often consigned to a single category. Falconer and López set out to change this with a diverse collection of essays that help answer the question: How can we treat U.S. Latina and Latino literature as a definable whole while acknowledging the many shifting identities within their cultures? This book sheds light on the dangers of abandoning identity by accepting cultural stereotypes and ignoring diversity within diversity. The contributors caution against judging literature based on the race of the author and lament the use of the term Hispanic to erase individuality"--Provided by publisher.
Mingling Among
"Paul Naylor's MINGLING AMONG is a beautifully sustained, thought-provoking, and companionable prose poem in five interrelated sections. Taking the paragraph as his primary unit of composition, scenes are rendered in ever-changing frames of time, scale, and location, in a measured if kaleidoscopic inquiry into the possibility of overcoming our obsession with binary constructions and the domination of nature."--Ted Pearson "This book is an intellectual autobiography composed as a series of questions often untethered from answers. This book is a philosophical text that teases out Western dualism and, with no little difficulty, favors multiplicity. This book is the story of a boy who grew up Mormon who became a man aging into Zen Buddhism. This book is about the older father of a young girl who dances to Taylor Swift. This book is about an anti-capitalist who lives in capital. This book is an examination of the self as grammar, excluding capitals. This book is an elegy to our earth on the brink of extinction."--Susan M Schultz Poetry.
The Mercury Poem
Poetry. "THE MERCURY POEM sifts through the aftermath of nuclear meltdown and lets the senses piece us together. A puzzle: in this our time of ever-expanding exclusion zones, how to take cover / take care inside foregone conclusion? What is not forgone? What is poetry inside such disaster? Ear to the ground, eye on the facts, and with heart and subtle humor, Jared Schickling offers a volatile music where 'flammable animals cavort / bioplastic / in the bioplast' and the fish choir takes over. Here is poetry that pulses, in search of. Read up."--Ryan Eckes "Writing from the liver of what he'd call a National Sacrifice Zone, Schickling's oozy syntax mixes tire fires and shrimp songs, transbound...
