Book Description

Poetry. "CHOPSTICK NUMBERS is a Dionysian vision of a young gay man's coming-out process. The descent into hell and often into humilation is there as he, 'a nice white Catholic fat man,' falls in love and develops a fascination for slim beautiful Asian men and hangs out at an Asian gay disco club. Like Orpheus, he must make the journey to hell to try to bring back what he loves"-Diane Wakoski. "A daily world and its amiably accompanying person make it all for real here -- with deft and accurate surmise. Just think about how many times you've thought of something -- and never said a word! Not so this impressive poet, who keeps it all moving -- period"--Robert Creeley.

China's national broadcaster, CCTV, said that he "changed radio history in China." Millions know who he is, but few know his story. And for the first time, he writes about his relationship with one of China's most famous writers, San Mao, whom he knew for ten years up to her tragic death in 1991.Radio ChopstiX is a creative radio story and more. Rick has experienced life in China from a much different and original perspective. He became a piece of modern China's history as a part of the bridge between China and the world; an "unofficial Ambassador to China!" (updated April 2013)

Book Description

Poetry. Venturing into the territories of family and loss, persistence and hope, SanFrancisco poet Linda Dyer's voice is wry and inventive in these poems,where a crayfish can be a child's pet, a lover's makeshift ashtrayan erotic lure, office supplies a convenient resource for makeovers."Her poetry is a naked poetry--haunting, seamless, and precise," writesDenise Duhamel. "Witty and tough, drawing on science and street argot,[Dyer] at the same time has a feeling for the inner magic of the word,the quirky phrase, in the manner of Plath or Hopkins."--Alan Williamson

Book Description

The poems in this book tell a coming-of-age story set in a Florida both lush and oppressive, where similar paradoxes confront the child who would be both open to everything and permanently safe. The girl-body's relationship to otherness -- the masculine, but also the overpowering natural world -- as it is distracted by desire plays a key role in these slant, crackly, truly original poems.

Book Description

Poetry. African American Studies. Quilting, quoting, and sampling, Patterson sets a flux of impression, emotion, and articulation into vertiginous blank-verse sonnets. "The intention of these fine poems is to be found in the title TO AND FROM. Each poem is surrounded by an arcana of words (mostly commonplace) gleaned from other poets' poems, words that when strung together slide into the poem by Patterson himself. His poems are addressed to a mercurial, form-changing You. The result is paradoxically impersonal, transcending individual and place. One line captures the whole process: 'That loss you know might become anyone.'"--Fanny Howe.

Book Description

Poetry. The Area of Sound Called the Subtone, Gordon's second full-length book, won the 2004 Sawtooth Poetry Prize, judged by Claudia Rankine. Rankine writes, "Noah Eli Gordon is a master of the shift between an epigrammatic and aphoristic line. Each utterance is a glance that implodes rhetorical strategies so spectacularly that the spray of intelligence that lingers in this reader's mind is not much different from a cooling shower from an illegally opened fire hydrant. Witty, vivid, and very, very vital, Gordon has entered a higher frequency"-Claudia Rakine.

Book Description

Poetry. Dan Beachy-Quick confirms the promise of his first book and greatly extends the range and scope of his writing with this brilliant fantasia on a theme by Herman Melville. This multi-layered poetic work engages with Melville's text as well as with myth and with the ideas of spiritual quest, the role of the writer, and the nature of language. Rewarding multiple readings and affording continual discoveries, SPELL is a major work for the new century by an assured and gifted poet. "Intelligent, compassionate, exquisite, Beachy-Quick's is a unique voice in contemporary poetry" Cole Swensen."

Book Description

Poetry. David Mutschlecner's second book from Ashahta Press, SIGN, both evokes the prophecy of an endgame and posits the possibility of enduring aspiration. Contextualized within the sacred, the sparse verse of SIGN illuminates the fall of man and the repercussive realities that cloak the contemporary apocalyptic psyche, both public and personal. Steeped not so much in religion as it is in reckoning, Mutschlecner assigns gravity and a well-tempered philosophy to every word with a language that constantly contends with truth. "The good and gladsome news in Mutschlecner's SIGN is that the ceremonies of innocence are not drowned. Rather they enjoy a continuous, lucent transformation in poems such as these. SIGN is a kinetic missal of new faith and new perfections" --Donald Revell. Mutschlecner's ESSE is also available at SPD.
