Hardback. Condition: Good. Poetry. "LISTENER bristles with disquiet, its lines a disquisition on the existential situation of the person who listens so hard to himself, 'I found everything / Felt like my head.' Emerging from 'The empty moment before my face surfaces / Before I find I've started the whole thing again,' these poems never escape knowing 'Here I am.I'm no place new,' but they go on to make of thought such an affable trap that we enjoy the sound of it snapping shut on us, too. Each poem makes play out of self's inevitable self-consciousness--'how I saw myself as my own / Toy'--and plumbs the remarkable capacities of poetic language for representation and plasticity, fact and fancy, imagistic precision and prosodic invention. The resulting music brings readers paradoxically back to themselves, to those moments when 'I have a voice I can sometimes find / when my head's in a book, distracted and aware.'"--Brian Teare.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Poetry. 'It's still dark / Then, a door, ' begins Julie Carr's beautiful THINK TANK. We are invited to step through it, into a space both interstitial and marked, always, with the parts that don't adhere: 'streaks of water between panes of glass, ' 'shores. [like] garnets, as vital as they are coarse, ' a '[p]inching and elliptical grammar. slightly tipped at the horizon.' This is where pleasure lies--in its tilted reality and luminous curiosity that resembles, so much, childhood imaginaries of loss, landscape and becoming. In connecting to these other qualities of consciousness, Carr opens apertures and seams of different kinds, in a complex, delicate, durational writing that could be both things: the mouth that releases its load of blood when it opens to speak, or something else--a way to get to the next part of life. 'At the doorway: endlessness, ' Carr writes. And we follow her gaze until it breaks: 'glinting and wet.'--Bhanu Kapil Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Fiction. How does Renee Gladman manage to make language different from itself? How does she make space different from itself too? In this short novel there is an expansive mystery, but I don't think it exists to be solved. There is 'Bze, ' but there is also fried fish. There is a city with structures in it that multiply or are 'half-articulated, ' where climate dictates how the city's inhabitants move. MORELIA is exquisite. And Gladman is, easily, one of the most intriguing and important writers of our time.--Amina Cain I read this book as a gift to fiction writers. It maps my reality as a person whose daily experience is made simultaneously by the immediately sensory, the aftermath of dream, and the constant sense of narrative at work. MORELIA is an immaculately constructed, entirely fictive landscape, a story of the adventure of detection in its every aspect. No one writes prose like Renee Gladman.--Lucy Corin Strange and brilliant, a mystery, an adventure, a mad escape: this story is all Gladman, shimmers with Gladman, sings. Every page is a song.--Deb Olin Unferth Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
