New and Used Poems and Objects

This collection of new poems by self-styled “Pony Expressionist” Mike Silverton is augmented by over seventy color photographs by Kevin Johnson of Silverton’s painting, assemblage, and sculpture. Includes two Dada manifestos, a note on the objects, and a tauntingly useless Index of First Lines.

Mike Silverton's poetry appeared in the late '60s and early '70s in Harper's, The Nation, Wormwood Review, Poetry Now, some/thing, Chelsea, Prairie Schooner, Elephant, and in four anthologies: Eight Lines and Under, Macmillan, 1967; Pith and Vinegar, Simon and Schuster, 1969; Poetry Brief, Macmillan, 1971; and Poems One Line & Longer, Grossman, 1973. He produced poetry readings for The New School for Social Research, for New York's municipal radio station, WNYC, and for Pacifica Radio's WBAI, KPFA, and KPFK. He moved from Brooklyn to Maine in 2002, and is a Contributing Editor to Exacting Clam magazine.
