Kuuskajaskari
A bilingual edition - in Finnish, and in English of Leevi Lehto - of a seminal work of the Second Generation Finnish Modernist poetry, by the virtuoso poet Jyrki Pellinen - a "description of life" that "is not tender", an account of the "agony of coming into the world", of a becoming-a-poet-as-a-thing in a process of endless dismemberment, struggling "among creatures of my own size, castle lords, furuncle-faces, robberly inclined, old women, and other such objects of nature".
Lake Onega and Other Poems
This selection, first published in 2006 by Salt in UK, traces the development of Leevi Lehto's later poetry -- from the "imagist" early 90's work through the metrical experimentation of the Lake Onega sonnets (1997) to the procedurally oriented poetics of the 00's. Most of the texts are translations, all of them tests of translation, while some may offer themselves as exercises in Second Language English Literature. This edition features an essay by Michael Peverett as an Appendix that puts (almost) all in perspective. "An adventurous, witty, impertinent and intense book, teeming with sprezzatura (...) that takes the measure of contemporary experiments from the objectivist to the flarfiste."...

The Sound of Poetry / The Poetry of Sound
Sound—one of the central elements of poetry—finds itself all but ignored in the current discourse on lyric forms. The essays collected here by Marjorie Perloff and Craig Dworkinbreak that critical silence to readdress some of thefundamental connections between poetry and sound—connections that go far beyond traditional metrical studies. Ranging from medieval Latin lyrics to a cyborg opera, sixteenth-century France to twentieth-century Brazil, romantic ballads to the contemporary avant-garde, the contributors to The Sound of Poetry/The Poetry of Sound explore such subjects as the translatability of lyric sound, the historical and cultural roles of rhyme,the role of sound repetition in n...

Against Expression
Charles Bernstein has described conceptual "poetry pregnant with thought." Against Expression, the premier anthology of conceptual writing, presents work that is by turns thoughtful, funny, provocative, and disturbing. Editors Craig Dworkin and Kenneth Goldsmith chart the trajectory of the conceptual aesthetic from early precursors such as Samuel Beckett and Marcel Duchamp through major avant-garde groups of the past century, including Dada, Oulipo, Fluxus, and language poetry, to name just a few. The works of more than a hundred writers from Aasprong to Zykov demonstrate a remarkable variety of new ways of thinking about the nature of texts, information, and art, using found, appropriated, and randomly generated texts to explore the possibilities of non-expressive language. --Book Jacket.
