“With its keen observations, spare style,
and thoughtful use of understated formal strategies, this new
book … is also wide-ranging, with threads related to
nature, aesthetics, politics, and sex, among other things,
and this range brings depth to the work.”

“His poems
are dignified by deftness and quietude,
but they’re also great feats
of enlargement: they act as conduits,
allowing the past and the present
to replenish each other. Large
also are the pleasures they give
their readers.”

“The motion of the writer is so practiced that word

cut two ways and divide the opposites, pointing to something
beyond themselves.”

Lazer, Hank
Lyric & Spirit: Selected Essays 1996-2008
320 pages (6” x 9” Paper)
ISBN: 978-1-890-650-32-2
$19.95
|
In these lucid, engaging, and informative essays, Hank Lazer enlists lyric and spirit in a project of radical resistance to the received in pursuit of intensification of the possible. If Lazer calls for beauty, it is an unexpected beauty, earned not given. This is a compelling study of contemporary American poetic practice, with special attention to Armantrout, Creeley, Fischer, Taggart, Mackey, Zukofsky, Jabés, Duncan, and Schwerner, among others, in the context of a critical approach informed by two unlikely soul mates, Theodor Adorno and Thelonious Monk.

Review
Moriarty, who is
the deputy director at Small Press
Distribution, studied with Robert
Duncan, and is closely associated
with Bay Area poet Norma Cole (who
provides an introduction). She
has the former's baroquely elegant
turns of mind and the latter's
searching fluidity, but her subject
matter—roughly, how one's
self-perceptions form a language
that one is always comparing to
one's experiences—is all
her own, and her lines have a tensile
gorgeousness unlike anyone else's…”

“[I]n this mature work,
Ramke remains… a stylist
very much of his own invention.
And amid dizzying reference, brilliant
points of emotional clarity and
depth shine through.” |

Invisible Green
Selected Prose

ISBN: 1-890650-22-6
$14.95 |
“a magnificent
collage in which poet speaks to
poet, vision looks upon vision,
sound resonates against sound.
Half the book is Invisible
Green, a set of nine brief
essays originally published as
a column in American Poetry
Review. The other half consists
of an assortment of readings and
homages. . . . And yet the whole
is of a piece, a remarkably consistent ars
poetica, a gospel intended
to renew our faith in poetry and
remind us of why we read and write
poems.”

On Spec
160 pages (6" x 9" Paper)
ISBN: 978-1-890-650-33-9
$14.95 |
On Spec excels in cultural poetics transmuted into lyric.
Non-identity critique speculates on dialect and dialectics at once,
with no end of signifying resourcefulness and no limit of self. And yet the poetry in On Spec is as disciplined as it is brave and free.
