Shearsman books http://www.shearsman.com/ has three extraordinary new
ebooks up on its website, Ken Edwards, "Chaconne," Geoffrey Squires,
"So," and Rodney Nelson, "Swede Poems." Very different work--Edwards
does tight riffs on music, Squires comes as close to silence as words
can get, and Nelson makes a kind of history. All three are
distinguished by a spareness and poise unmarred by the slightest
pretension. In Geoff Squire's case "So" joins last year's ebook
"Lines." Both read as a meditation at some very deep point in the
mind where essential connections are questioned.
