QuickviewSix Verse Plays: Or, Some Poems For Performance, by John Matthias
Drama, Poetry, SuperstarsThe poetry, essays, and fiction of John Matthias are widely known. Less known are the plays and performance texts that he has been writing and adapting from his longer poems in the course of the last several years. This book contains six of these texts, only one of which has been performed. However, the success of staged versions of “Automystifstical Plaice” suggests that performances of the other texts would be equally exciting. Both by the reader and the hypothetical producer of these plays, this book will be warmly welcomed.$16.00 -

Quickviewsound of wave in channel, Books I and II by Stephen Ratcliffe
Poetry, SuperstarsIn Stephen Ratcliffe’s sound of wave in channel, constant difference meets constant sameness.

QuickviewStarlight: 150 poems by John Tranter
Poetry, SuperstarsCertainly John Tranter, who has been an international phenomenon for some time, is not one to deny the influences from outside, or to slow down the discussion of whether it all (Beats, Black Mountain, New York School) may be a hoax itself. This open question is, after all, what gives them their plangency and liveliness. Welcome to Tranter’s medicinal coruscating world. You’ll like it. It’ll do you good. — John Ashbery$16.00 -

QuickviewThat Woman Could Be You by Vi Khi Nao + Jessica Alexander
New Releases, Poetry, SuperstarsLike Anne Charlotte Robertson's Five Year Diary seen through a fervid haze, its Super 8 frames fractaling in and out of memory's forlorn theatrics, the pieces in this book invite the reader on a jaunt of vanishingly small, gigantic, public, and intimate dimensions. Accept the invitation. Reel with all the ways That Woman Could be You. –– ALI RAZ$22.00 -

QuickviewTHE CARCASSES: A FABLE by Raymond Federman
Superstars— no need to say more about the pathetic failure of this revolution — what will happen in the zone of the carcasses will be told in a subsequent chapter — but as it is now said and repeated in every corner of the zone since the miscarriage of this revolt — the more things change the more they’re the same —$16.00 -

QuickviewThe Jointure by Clayton Eshleman
Poetry, Superstars“What does it mean to see with the eyes of the soul?” In The Jointure, Clayton Eshleman offers an answer to this question in language of visionary symbolic consciousness. Intimate and expansive, psychological and anthropological data germinates this fecundating exploration and extrapolation of inner wilderness and the essence of imagination. In The Jointure, “memory is fracture” – the depths of horror enshroud the horror of depths – but imagination is revealed as the “keelson of paradise.” —Stuart Kendall$16.00 -
