Quickview26 Tears by George Tysh / Chris Tysh
Poetry, SuperstarsWhat an abracadabra of abecedarian magic is 26 Tears! Evoking the Aramaic avra kehdabra, "I will create as I speak," this collaborative incantation weaves a magical spell of language. Two poets riff in alphabetical measure with illuminating literary texts, an epidemic, and a quotidian of political angst. — Maureen Owen$18.00 -
QuickviewAn Anatomy Of The Night by Clayton Eshleman
Poetry, SuperstarsAn Anatomy Of The Night by Clayton Eshleman is a magnificent new work by one of America’s foremost poets. In thirty-one parts written between December 2010 and February 2011, Eshleman’s long poem creates a choral effect that masterfully evokes fragments of candid observation shimmering in rhythmic intensity. In bold simplicities, illustrative sensibilities and lyrical integrity this work is imaginative, intimate and beautifully controlled. Hauntingly, these poems rip open the space of the long form poem and create something new and brilliant.$16.00 -
QuickviewAround the day in 80 worlds By Rachel Blau DuPlessis
Poetry, SuperstarsAround each day, she flies her rounds— tempestuous. DuPlessis revels in travel and records what unravels in one’s habits of attention when all the elsewheres return us to a home we are about to lose. “What is the true story of any time? / any itinerary?/ and of its traveling sorrows?” I encounter so many moments of startling honesty— each poem is a face as pert as day and as wild as night, looking up, from a labyrinth of drafts. —Divya Victor$16.00 -

Poetry, Superstarsthese poems split the seconds of daily life into splinters that, with time, catch the light —Charles Bernstein$16.00 -
QuickviewBlack and Yellow Notebooks by Stephen Ratcliffe
New Releases, Poetry, SuperstarsThe wonderful momentum of Ratcliffe’s clipped language echoes the staccato footsteps of his week-long hikes. It’s walking art in the tradition of Richard Long and Hamish Fulton, yet kept in motion through a constantly shifting, ever-piercing attention that keeps the reader acutely present to the changing light, the passing crows, and the meteors streaking through the August night sky. To enter this book is to go uncommonly outside. -- Cole Swensen$18.00 -
QuickviewCanyonesque by Tom Clark
Poetry, Superstars[Clark] really flows and gambles and plays it loose. I like his guts... He's the raw gnawing end of the moon. — Charles Bukowski$16.00 -
QuickviewCOMMA FORK / MOVING PARTS by Ted Greenwald
Poetry, SuperstarsThrilled to be writing this blurb because I love Ted Greenwald's poetry. It is extraordinary lifelike in its interlocking pattern and surprise. I mean like life, if life were a made thing, a homemade pinwheel blown askew and ridden to the front-stoop carnival where your friends work and you can talk about how your mouth feels when you fill pronouns from the dictionary. And how you don't need the dictionary. Rearrange. The world's so modular! Set free for a minute. — Cathy Wagner$18.00 -

QuickviewDay by Kent Johnson
SuperstarsIf the 836-pp. Day established Kenny Goldsmith as without a doubt the leading conceptual poet of his time, the 836-pp. Day by Kent Johnson may well be remembered for nudging the politics of Conceptual Poetry out of blithely affirmative, institutional framings, and into truly negational, critical spaces. —Juliana Spahr$30.00 -
QuickviewDistance by Tom Clark
Poetry, Superstars"One of the reasons why language is so sick right now and cliché-ridden and lame and boring and laid-out, and about to go to sleep, is because there aren't a thousand Tom Clarks. If I were writing a prescription right now, you know, if I had my shiny thing here, a stethoscope around my neck, that's the prescription I'd write. Take one thousand Tom Clarks before going to bed.” —Edward Dorn$16.00 -
QuickviewDoggerel for the Masses: A Post-Scandal BlazeVOX Booke by Kent Johnson
Poetry, SuperstarsHelen Vendler recently referred (letting off not a little pent-up steam) to the “Mickey-Mouse-Ears avant-gardism of U.S. Conceptual Poetry.” Well, here’s a riposte to that, Dame Helen: Because Craig Dworkin’s Doggerel for the Masses (“by” Kent Johnson!) wears the golden helmet of Achilles, whose antennae listening-mechanisms shoot into the heavens beyond Pluto. Hold onto your Hats, Boys and Girls; it’s going to be a wild ride! —Kenneth Goldsmith$16.00 -
QuickviewEkstasis by Peter Valente and Kevin Killian
Poetry, SuperstarsKevin Killian and Peter Valente’s haunting collaboration Ekstasis comes on like one of those dark dreams you can’t seem to shake – it’s memory and sensations still lingering long after you’ve awoken. —Michael Salerno, artist, filmmaker, and publisher.$22.00
