The Hanky of Pippin's Daughter

A Forest on Many Stems
The Poet's Novel provides a unique entrance to the prose and poetry of many remarkable modern and contemporary poets including: Etel Adnan, Renee Gladman, Langston Hughes, Kevin Killian, Alice Notley, Leslie Scalapino, Jack Spicer, and Jean Toomer, whose approaches to the novel defy conventions of plot, character, setting and action. The contributors, all poets in their own right like, Brian Blanchfield, Brandon Brown, Mónica de la Torre, Cedar Sigo, and C.D. Wright bring a variety of insights, approaches, and writing styles to the subject with creative and often surprising results.
Transcendental Studies
This compelling selection of recent work by internationally celebrated poet Keith Waldrop presents three related poem sequences—"Shipwreck in Haven," "Falling in Love through a Description," and "The Plummet of Vitruvius"—in a virtuosic poetic triptych. In these quasi-abstract, experimental lines, collaged words torn from their contexts take on new meanings. Waldrop, a longtime admirer of such artists as the French poet Raymond Queneau and the American painter Robert Motherwell, imposes a tonal override on purloined materials, yet the originals continue to show through. These powerful poems, at once metaphysical and personal, reconcile Waldrop's romantic tendencies with formal experimentation, uniting poetry and philosophy and revealing him as a transcendentalist for the new millennium.
You are the Business
Poetry. Translated from the French by Cole Swenson. YOU ARE THE BUSINESS is a new book by Caroline Dubois, a Parisian poet who teaches at the Ecole des Beaux-Artsand who has translated Norma Cole and Deborah Richards into French. Dubois' poems playfully refer to themselves and to one another as would a map or a puzzle. YOU ARE THE BUSINESS is part of the Serie d'Ecriture, Burning Deck Publisher's annual of new French poetry in English translation. Award-winning poet Cole Swenson also translated Dubois' 2001 Arrete maintenant [Stop Now], and has worked with other poets including Pierre Alfari, Olivier Cadiot and Pascalle Monnier.
