O
Poetry. "What is 'common ground?' How does it come about in a nation? In a poem? In Schickling's project, limning the portals between expression and repression, common ground is sought and thwarted, and sought again, bringing to bear the grand project of all our poetry--what does it say? How do we mean? What if a flock of our voices, civic and private, were let loose, flurrying and colliding in the echo chamber of the poem? "--Eleni Sikelianos. "Jared Schickling, the Poetry of the imagination expansive, no master, not forms that restrict, not the commercialism of print. Not the Government of Poetry, with this an anarchistic being is where all might of the elemental as a construction without end with wisdom and magic, behold begins a future"--Michael Basinski.
Province of Numb Errs
Poetry. "Poetry is not another way of telling you what to think. Sure, be a poet, and humble(d). Jared Schickling's PROVINCE OF NUMB ERRS is a relief: out of monotime ("This time has no here its All here u / go"); avoiding collisions with prevalent discourse. If you're interested in the writing human, be interested in this." Michael Farrell "Camel, ass, lion, pig, donkey, horse, ox, fawn, duckling, osprey, sea snail, snake; infirmary, school, factory farm; bar, travel, underwear, childbirth, solar observatory, sex acts, and "the morning corpse of water": maybe you can tell from this list of images in this book what Jared Shickling's concerns are. "Natures impatience / homage de / con struck ...

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...
Needles of Itching Feathers
Needles of Itching Feathers finds pleasure's pulse in the precarious state of the psychological (and bodily) fascia still keeping us human. As the tissue stretches and tears, birds fly in.
Submissions
Poetry. "The poems in Jared Schickling's SUBMISSIONS explore the dislocations between self, community, and our desiccated political and ecological landscapes. The pressures of such disasters may be a point of departure for these poems, but they move toward a promise of habitation found in the shared spaces within both animal and human kingdoms.The entrances to these charged spaces are awkward, partial, and sometimes painful, but the scope and pull of these potential commons can curve our isolated selves into more adaptable shapes. In doing so, these poems bring the news that while our individual messages invariably split into lonely factions, we can still find common ground in a language that is 'on loan and full of intentions'"--Jonathan Minton.
Aurora
Poetry. "The poems of Jared Schickling's AURORA are distinguished by their parenthetical titles, titles which serve as interludes as in '(war in the street) / (or, Note To Self)' or as digressions, suggesting that the poem functions beyond or without its frame, this frame of the title being ancillary rather than constitutive. In this way, the parts might be read as a long poem, split into three parts and these 'titles,' lines of the poem. There is a bird's-eye cohesiveness to the book in that even the visceral moments of the lyric 'I' or the attentiveness to others and the banality of the everyday are situated on the earth. The title suggests a kind of cosmic order. AURORA is the dawn or the Roman goddess of the dawn, a figurative gesture at keeping time. Yet, "aurora" can also be read scientifically as the luminous phenomenon of emissions of light excited by the planet's magnetic field. Science and poetry, cosmic order and the quotidian bear a resemblance to new science; Schickling greets such a resemblance not by expounding on order or ideas of order"--J'Lyn Chapman.
The Pink
Poetry. THE PINK reads like a bio-centric futurist work of patterned effeminate lyricism and distortion whose themes are fatherhood, motherhood, and childhood, while playing heartily at inherited themes and motifs through re-worked fairy tales, observations (recordings), and children's verses. "In Jared Schickling's newest explosive work, THE PINK, generative conflations ensue: feminine becomes feminist, parents & children share consciousness, babes & poets are suckled and grown. Deploying gorgeously scissored phrasings, syncretic linguistic constructions, and sonic booms, Schickling here perfectly embodies Jakobsonian selection & combination, revealing the mother in the bottle, the boy who is, and the girl-to-be. As he aptly juxtaposes 'the only way for something to be interesting / is to become something else' and 'I'm jealous; I am not the people. / I am inside and outside and inside and outside.' All are the case, and we're happy to live in such a fresh interstice with such a rangy brilliance." Sandra Doller"
For Love
"How refreshing and enlightening to read a poet who is close reading another poet through the art of poetry (as opposed to commentary, its inverse). There is no greater homage to a great teacher than to take what he held most dear-assonance, sibilance, language, and love-and elevate it into a new consciousness: one that dives deeply into a great poet's failures in order to reverberate his echoing prosody into new form. Like Creeley-who could turn an angel on a pin by writing tiny poems, or expand a field into a universe by drawing out long ones-Schickling's poems eschew easy images by making metaphors move the mind into a composted groundlessness. Here, the particulars of daily life are the ...
Two Books on the Gas
Poetry. "TWO BOOKS ON THE GAS splits us in two: ABOVE THE SHALE is 'Diving into the Wreck' for a credible earth, both aboveground and below. The topics are fracking and love and political violence and ashes in known states of fractured experience. The words, phrases, and ventured pages are so alive and differentiated you can sense your emplacement in the physical world. ACHIEVED BY KISSING is a demotic abecedarian, the exhalation of intense writing, an open human mirror of the attentive civic witness. Jared Schickling both kicks and tickles in this poetry that is both piece by piece and a whole art. Responsibility was never so gently insisted."—Lisa Samuels "Schickling's material-driven po...
