Perfect bound softcover with letter press covers, printed and bound by the Circadian Press. 112 pages. 6" x 9". Cover Art by Maya Strauss In Clark's own words, "a retranslation, in the loosest sense, of the Han Shan Cold Mountain Poems, all three hundred and whatever of them." Written in 1990, only a small excerpt has ever appeared in print. There is also a special edition of 50 numbered 1-50 with hand altered covers by artist Maya Strauss, and signed by the poet and artist. Clark Coolidge is an American poetand musician associated withL=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Poetryand the New York School.His work, often concerned withthe musical and rhythmic qualitiesof language to the exclusionof literal meaning, can beboth beautiful and opaque.The authorof a dizzyingly large numberof books,Clark does not use the internet.He is a resident of Petaluma, California. Charles Bernstein on To The Cold Heart: "Clark Coolidge's To the Cold Heart is an adventure of mind's reassociative play with words, tipsily tripping on tongue with an improvisatory exuberance the age demands. Like Parmenides doing a polka, Coolidge blows the tune at every turn." Peter Gizzi on To The Cold Heart: "In these wonderfully concise poems, inspired by Hanshan, the Cold Mountain poet, there is a delicacy to be discovered from line to line, poem to poem. There are also enigmas questing for meaning to be found. This may be Clark Coolidge's most quiet and intimate book where the reader finds space in small things, vitality in wonder." Thurston Moore on To The Cold Heart: "Regardless of when, Clark's poetry is always in the moment of timelessnesslike the scurrying bop keys of Horace Silver, the vocabulary is centered in rhythm, in music at play with thoughts derived from the spaces between the notes. New every spin." Appears on Dennis Cooper'sfavorite fiction, poetry, non-fiction, film, art, and internet of 2021 so farlist Clark Coolidge interviewed by Parker Menzimer in Bomb Magazine.

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. THE AMERICAN AVANT-GARDE(S): TWO GREATS IN DIALOGUE IN THE MARGINS Stapled pamphlet; 201 x 135mm; pp. 47 An extensively annotated copy of Allen Ginsberg's early poems, in the attractive Totem Press edition, from the working library of the poet Clark Coolidge. On the surface Coolidge and Ginsberg are separated by the stylistic gap between 'Beat' and 'Language' poetry - but in his marginalia here Coolidge reveals a deep interest in Ginsberg's work, picking out themes and words that anticipate 'Howl' and other mature works, summarizing whole poems, and resolving allusive lines, and cross-referencing other writers in the Beat and broader American tradition (Burroughs, Kerouac, Hawthorne, Whitman are mentioned, amongst others). All but three poems bear annotations - many are extensively marked up. Coolidge also gives clues to his own position on poetry and composition. For instance, under the line 'the majestic flaws of mind' he writes 'why does he view this negatively?', and next to a poem titled 'This is about death' he writes 'Fuck philosophy! Live!' Given that the only date amongst Coolidge's marginalia is 1968 (reference to a Playboy article), we can assume that Coolidge read this around the time of his first 'collected' volume 'Space' (1970), the latest poems in which are starkly minimalist ('an / un / into // nor / and / round'). Coolidge is also well known for his collaging technique. Perhaps most intriguing therefore is Coolidge's habit of underlining, which reduces Ginsberg's poems to brief noun phrases or epithets: 'the doll of eternity', 'little white key', 'with such unpleasant detail', 'cadaverous men', to give just a few examples. Although the book does not bear Coolidge's name it comes from a collection of his books and, as noted, bears extensive annotations in his distinctive hand. Very good condition: covers a little grubby; annotations throughout. References: Tom Orange, 'Arrangement and Density: A Context for Early Clark Coolidge', Jacket2 [online]. Inscribed by Author(s).
