QuickviewElemental Perceptions: A Panorama by Sophie Sills
Poetry$16.00Its epigraph from Oppen (“The flaw, the gap which is the aware of being, tho it is within it. The flaw on which being presses”) suggests the epistemological concern at the center of Sophie Sills’ Elemental Perceptions: A Panorama: seeing/hearing things and events in the world, how can we know what’s really ‘there’ – that being “with a pulse . . . without a heartbeat . . . [which] is unknown,” yet which seems to be “aware” of us, seems to “press” against us. —Stephen Ratcliffe

QuickviewEmotional Support Peacock by Nada Gordon

One cannot but feel uplifted into the Rapture.—Diana Fisher$18.00 -
QuickviewEndless Spectator, The Screens Suite by Jesse Damiani
PoetryIn an ironic twist, there are no spectators in Endless Spectator. The mere act of looking involves you, and just like on the internet, the act of looking can be transgressive, if not towards the content, but towards yourself. Through its visual bewilderment, Endless Spectator makes you realize that the cacophony of the internet is alive and pulsing, and you’ve already been consumed by it.$22.00 -

QuickviewEpigonesia by Kane X. Faucher and Tom Bradley
FictionKane X. Faucher and Tom Bradley bullwhip some of literature's most vibrant luminaries, including Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, Antonin Artaud and Hunter S. Thompson. Through occult means, "Ebeneezer" Pound has reanimated his favorite dead authors as part of a villainous master plan. The re-embodied writers suffer through their tragicomic limitations as epigones of themselves. Faucher's puppeteering of Pound is matched by Bradley, who hurls into the text an annotated revelation of diabolic intrigue involving a dead author and a commandeered laptop.$22.00 -
QuickviewEpigramititis : 118 Living American Poets by Kent Johnson
Superstars"Thanks for sending me the epigrams.* Superb. It's about time for something of the sort, I'd say, what with the ass licking that rules the day.

And as to your question, well, yeah, absolutely: Olson, if he'd lived to see what has happened, would have loved these." — Ed Dorn$16.00 -

QuickviewEvening Train by Tom Clark
Poetry, SuperstarsIn Evening Train we witness people on a bus, a window in the night, greenery, a bird on its perch—and then at the center of this world, something nameless seems to open. It’s hard to say just what happens, other than the words of each poem itself. But that isn’t quite right. It’s as if the words are a way for the poet to inscribe silence. You turn the page, wondering, and it arrives again—something quite beyond what is told. Tom Clark is a master. —Aram Saroyan$16.00 -

QuickviewEverything Seems Significant by Jan Bottiglieri
Poetry“Everything Seems Significant sails and embraces... such a deep, kaleidoscopic dive it takes. This is brilliant, inspired work.

QuickviewExcentrica: Notes on the Text by Steven C Reese
PoetryIt’s a rare poet who can look the muse in the eye and speak through or with her as Reese has done in this fragmentary and insightful collection, which reads both as a form of exegesis, literary criticism and dialogue, as well as a love poem to literature. It is at once a beautiful composition in its own right, and an illumination of the magic and mystery of composing verse, addressing the poets’ many sources of influence and inspiration. —Nin Andrews$16.00 -
Quickviewface blindness by Megan A. Volpert

QuickviewFantastic Caryatids, by Anne Waldman and Vincent Katz
Poetry, SuperstarsFantastic Caryatids, by Anne Waldman & Vincent Katz, is a lush, vivid and spectacular reading/album/book of poetry, conversation and photographs. Note that the subtitle is A Conversation with Art. The "with" has the particularities of city, specificities of the senses, of memories, of an ethos whose upper limit is friendship, companionship. It is a model, a remarkable “alternative version of how to be alive.” (Anne Waldman) Dynamic, urbane, intimate, “the occasion of these ruses” (Frank O’Hara) is synergy from chronos to kairos. —Norma Cole$18.00 -
QuickviewFeeling for the Ground by Tom Clark
