Paperback. Condition: Good. John Clarke is among those stand-out poets who are guides of what to do in writing that thinks. So - we may come through. . . . Here we are just plain after the modern (to use Olson's clear recognition and step around the pile up of positivisms) and at work. Robin Blaser John Clarke uses language like a can opener to breach the orders of thought (the essential tautologies of self-Being) that we might get at the meat of the Potentiality locked within. Diane di Prima With a depth of humanity and intelligence hardly visible anymore in our culture, Jack Clarke's work makes possible trajectories of thought that have largely been denigrated, suppressed or foreclosed in the little public space we cling to for dear life. Ammiel Alcalay Next to Olson's Projective thesis, Jack Clarke's From Feathers to Iron: a Concourse of World Poetics, is the best poetics thus far written for the next 100 years to study, for all schools. Vincent Ferrini Jack Clarke took it as far beyond Charles Olson as Olson took it beyond Ezra Pound. Albert Cook.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. At the heart of Michael Boughn's Measure's Measures are fundamental questions about poetry's relation to modes of knowing the world beyond what's given. Lovingly addressed to the work of poets associated with the New American Poetry and their predecessors, these essays probe the development of what Boughn calls the somatic poetics of transformative gnosis. Boughn's method combines a wide range of scholarship with his affectionate personal knowledge of many of the poets, and a radically decentered view of the stakes poetry brings to considerations of our post-modern moment. Rethinking the history of 20th century US American poetry, these essays challenge the academic containment of poetry to literary studies, opening it into a thriving wilderness of thinking being.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Adrift in history and myth, fairy tales and TV, the tedious and the marvellous, you'll find Dislocations in Crystal. These poems move through the world opened by Prince Henry the Navigator's epoch-shifting push to open a sea route around Africa to the Spice Isles. They pick their way through the detritus of the world bequeathed by his success, looking for a land as promised, not of the given but the taken. Crossing and re-crossing untold regions disguised as a New World, these carefully crafted poems, in the tradition of Robin Blaser and Jack Spicer, scatter the seeds of the yet-to-be-thought, drawing readers onward towards a dream that lies past apocalypse.…
