This multiple, seething, singing confluence rises up out of the city of life to join the enigmatic sky and clouds in Durand's magnificent, brutal, delicate epic. It's a stunning achievement"--John Ashbery. "...Presents the city as an organism, often breaking down and always vibrant, set amid a seething landscape that is equally problematic and thriving"--Cole Swensen. Marcella Durand's previous books include WESTERN CAPITAL RHAPSODIES (Faux Press, 2001) and The Anatomy of Oil, which will be published in Spring 2008 by Belladonna books. She is co-editor of an anthology of French poetry forthcoming from Talisman House, and a former editor of the Poetry Project Newsletter.

"She writes as if Everything were still possible in the work of a lifetime at the coincidence of all the turvy moments. Better that she's read without a thought to stop. Best so this world is found changed." --Clark Coolidge
A compelling collection of original essays on influence that restore a feminist avant-garde that includes women of color, queer, and trans women. Other Influences frames a new literary history in which feminist, avant-garde, and poetry practices intersect, foregrounding critically neglected but artistically powerful lineages in twentieth- and twenty-first-century North American poetry.
