QuickviewHybrid Hierophanies by Clayton Eshleman
Poetry, SuperstarsAdrienne Rich has stated: “As a poet and translator, Clayton Eshleman has gone more deeply into his art, its processes and demands, than any modern American poet since Robert Duncan and Muriel Rukeyser.” And Robert Kelly has written: “Nobody is like him in his struggle.

I know of no poet who has fed so richly from the thingliness of the world beneath his feet, none who so resists the glamour of beliefs. He is a shaman without a single superstition.”$12.00 -
QuickviewI AM YOU by Anne Tardos
Poetry, Superstars"I Am You reminds us of something we know but often forget: that identity is formed in relation to others.

QuickviewIn Your Dreams by Ted Greenwald

QuickviewInbox by Noah Eli Gordon
SuperstarsCan we, as poets, create texts about how we think and feel by using the language of how others think and feel? Can we compose with the new streams of language flowing in and around us (e.g. the ephemera and minutia of everyday email) to express our own place in the world? In a well-informed gesture beyond Baudrillard’s null set, Noah Eli Gordon’s booklength conceptual poem, INBOX, opens a new chapter of intimacy—his, yours, mine, ours. Welcome to a new subjectivity; welcome to a new way to say from the heart. —Robert Fitterman$16.00 -

QuickviewPERSONAL EFFECTS by Ted Pearson
Poetry, SuperstarsTime travels aphoristically in short hops, seen from long distance, with words as object lessons, in Ted Pearson’s refulgent work. “These annotations mean the world” in the most personal and impersonal sense.
