Glad Stone Children
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.
The Green Piano
Poems from an ever-wandering poet, Janine Pommy Vega. American Book Review wrote, "She is changed by her journey through the world, and she changes the world through her words." Janine Pommy Vega writes with quiet command of her life and times and of our shared American present. Here are protests against the depravities of the prison system, political poems grounded in closely observed human particulars. Here too are tender lyrics about family, lovers, and friends; celebrations of the natural and domestic worlds of upstate New York; and remarkably vivid letters home from spiritual sojourns through Italy, Germany, and the former Yugoslavia. "Vega's poems reflect a deeply felt and aching knowledge. They 'go' (as Kerouac said) their own patient, unadorned, and dignified way," wrote Publishers Weekly of her previous collection, Mad Dogs of Trieste.
Poems from Penny Lane
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."
The Heart is a Quarter Pounder
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 This new collection includes unpublished poems as well as an introduction by Andrei Codrescu and an afterward by Bruce Cheney, both of whom were friends of Miller's. Jeffrey Miller's work has been an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.
Paper Thin
Poetry. PAPER THIN is Rob Geisen's second book of poetry, and in it we are greeted again by his surrealistic sense of humor and tender emotional wordplay. Reed Bye has said of this book: "Rob Geisen's poems are written from a one-two sensibility of simple animal lusts and smart human double-takes . these are poems of an unusually immediate enjoyable accessibility."

George & Martha
George and Martha meet in a seedy motel room on the night before the Republican National Convention. Their affair goes way back, before George stole the election, before Martha built an empire on fascist domesticity. As usual, George numbs his pain over waging perpetual war with cocaine and the promise of kinky sex. Martha is forced to take a long view of her life as she suffers the public humiliation of corporate scandal, on the brink of going to prison. Written in the style of Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, George & Martha is Karen Finley's most scandalous work to date, a hilarious satire that takes a radical stand on political power, psychosexual relations between men and women, and the current state of affairs. Lavishly illustrated with drawings by the author.
