"A compilation of selected pieces intended for performance in the theatrical sense."--Notes.
Poetry. Not since Jim Gustafson edited The First One's Free in 1978 has the work of the late poet Jeffrey Miller been available. This new collection includes unpublished poems as well as an introduction by Andrei Codrescu and an afterward by Bruce Cheney, both of whom were friends of Miller's. Jeffrey Miller's work has been an underground classic, inspiring and captivating three generations of poets who have had the good fortune to encounter Miller's work.
Poetry. GLAD STONE CHILDREN is Edmund Berrigan's third collection of poetry. His previous work includes DISARMING MATTER and Your Cheatin' Heart. Son of noted poet, Ted Berrigan, Edmund has a style all his own; GLAD STONE CHILDREN has a musicality and flow of consciousness. He considers the romantic and the political as well as praise and critique for lyric. "Eddie Berrigan gives a nod to his lineage, acknowledging his upbringing as poetry's child. Berrigan's music, laced with undercurrents of violence and tension, is elegant and hysterically absurd by turns. These poems are a blueprint for a new generation of young American Poets"-Brenda Coultas. Praise for GLAD STONE CHILDREN and Edmund Berrigan is never-ending: He is a "rare sort of spy for the imperfect pitch"-John Coletti.
Poetry. POEMS FROM PENNY LANE is an anthology chronicling the "So, You're A Poet," reading series in Boulder, Colorado which has hosted such poets as Allen Ginsberg, Diane DiPrima, Anne Waldman, Gregory Corso, Ted Joans, and thousands of other poets and writers. Anne Waldman: "This Anthology draws on those many moons of Monday nights and by the commitment and talent of younger writers and editors in the Naropa community. It is a ranging and engaging compilation. As such it represents a refreshing ongoing counter-poetics, outside the mainstreams of academia and lyrical 'mafia' officialdom."
