If Wants to be the Same as is
"Drawn from 22 books of poetry published by David Bromige in his lifetime, if wants to be the same as is chronicles the career of one of contemporary poetry's most distinctive writers. Born in London, England, in 1933, raised in Canada, and a resident for most of his adult life of California, David Bromige is just as difficult to pin down in terms of his aesthetics. As a student at the University of BC in the early 1960s, Bromige met writers like Fred Wah, George Bowering, and Jamie Reid, who pointed him towards the American postmodernists, and eventually, to a scholarship to UC-Berkeley.

A Day at the Beach
Robert Grenier has been the most revered of the language writers with no detractors that we know of. As Anselm Holo said: In the past two decades, Robert Grenier's work has advanced word-art in a joyous, pacific, and irresistible way: his words are inscribed on visible (and invisible, i.e., interior) prayer-flags that flutter above and around the habitations of many surviving anarchically intelligent humans in this hemisphere (and, I guess, the other one, too). Come from the wind/breath, gone into the wind/breath, returning and emanating, in great precision, playfulness, and delighted integrity. The intelligence of joy, once again manifest in our poetry.
Western Practice
This debut collection radiates post-WWII California art scene cool as Motika obsesses artfully on the likes of Diebenkorn and Partch.

The L
"L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E started as a bimonthy magazine of infrmation and commentary, a forum for discussion and interchange. Throughout, we have emphasized a spectrum of writing that places its attention primarily on language and ways of making meaning, that takes for granted neither vocabulary, grammar, process, shape, syntax, program or subject matter. All of these remain an issue. Focussing on this range of poetic exploration, and on related aesthetic and political concerns, we have tried to open things up beyond correspondence and conversation: to break down some unnecessary encapsulation of writers (person to person, & scene from scene), and to develop more fully the latticework of those involved in aesthetically related activity. ..."--Repossessing the word, P.

Heraclitus in Sacramento
The year is 1987 and the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus is living with his mother in a small house in Sacramento when suddenly there is a knock on the door . How far does reading go? At what point does the act of reading catapult the reader into the seemingly inevitable desire that leads to writing? What is the line that divides reading from writing, and what happens in the process of trying to import the perspective one enjoys on one side of that line onto the other side? The four pieces collected here are meditations on possible approaches to these and other questions related to the relationship shared by the two-fold acts of reading and writing.
Robert Duncan, The Ambassador from Venus
This text is a biography of Robert Duncan, one of America's great postwar poets. The author takes the reader from Duncan's birth in Oakland, California, through his childhood in an eccentrically Theosophist household, to his life in San Francisco as an openly gay man who became an inspirational figure for many poets and painters around him.--(Source of description unspecified.)
