About this title

From Library Journal

This essential new annual goes its acknowledged predecessor one better, offering experimental writing that makes the now-defunct New Directions annual seem staid. Its mainstay is not individual writers but contemporary international movements; encasing chapbook-length compilations within forewords and afterwords, it sets unfamiliar texts in a welcome perspective. Regardless of nationality, these writers apply linguistic innovation in the service of political challenge. Fiction, interviews, criticism, and undefinable genres are seen within poetry's constructs. The American contemporaries represented here include Clark Coolidge, Susan Howe, and John Wieners, and obscure selections from writers who have influenced those on today's fringe (e.g., notes De Chirico scribbled in an exhibition catalog, transcripts of John Cage/Morton Feldman radio conversations) are especially valuable. This yearbook is listed as the "Michael Palmer issue" and is intended to be shelved under his name, but the reasons for this seem arbitrary and ill conceived. With an audio CD; recommended for public and academic libraries.

Store Description

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
