An Anatomy Of The Night by Clayton Eshleman
Now Available!

An Anatomy Of The Night by Clayton Eshleman is a magnificent new work by one of 
America's foremost poets. In thirty-one parts written between December 2010 and 
February 2011, Eshleman's long poem creates a choral effect that masterfully evokes
fragments of candid observation shimmering in rhythmic intensity. In bold simplicities,
illustrative sensibilities and lyrical integrity this work is imaginative, intimate
and beautifully controlled. Hauntingly, these poems rip open the space of the long
form poem and create something new and brilliant.

HUMAN-CARRYING FLIGHT TECHNOLOGY
by Christopher Shipman

There is a deep sadness in Christopher Shipman that needs poems the way a carnivore
needs meat. He makes poems to feed his sadness, to appease insistent hunger. He's
become a skilled cook of these soul-meals.

-Andrei Codrescu, author of Whatever Gets You through the Night: a Story of Sheherezade
and the Arabian Entertainments

Doggerel for the Masses: A Post-Scandal BlazeVOX Booke by Kent Johnson

These various pieces, initially published in journals by Craig Dworkin under the
 name of "Kent Johnson" (with exception of the tour de force Afterword, presented
here for the first time), follow from his call, in the Introductory essay to Against
Expression: An Anthology of Conceptual Writing (Northwestern UP, 2010):

Signing a text that one hasn't written will surely become less remarkable, and the
next frontier of propriety will materialize when conceptual writing antagonizes 
the institutions of poetry by signing for others under texts that they have not 
written.

As such this book represents both the latest, most advanced gesture of Conceptual
authorial experiment, and a fatal send-up of the actual Mr. Johnson, perhaps the
 most contemptible figure in contemporary American letters. If poetry has, until
 now, been fifty years behind Art, it is now at least fifteen minutes ahead. -Vanessa
Place

Helen Vendler recently referred (letting off not a little pent-up steam) to the 
"Mickey-Mouse-Ears avant-gardism of U.S. Conceptual Poetry." Well, here's a riposte
to that, Dame Helen: Because Craig Dworkin's Doggerel for the Masses ("by" Kent 
Johnson!) wears the golden helmet of Achilles, whose antennae listening-mechanisms
shoot into the heavens beyond Pluto. Hold onto your Hats, Boys and Girls; it's going
to be a wild ride. - Kenneth Goldsmith

Kent Johnson received his Master's degree from the Poetics program at the University
of Pennsylvania, where he studied under Kenny Goldsmith. While at the University
 of Pennsylvania, he helped establish Jacket2 and (under the supervision of Professor
Goldsmith) managed and edited the audio recordings collection at PennSound. He lives
in Paris, France, and in Freeport, Illinois, where he works, during winters, for
 the Stephenson County Sanitation Department. Though he has published nearly thirty
other books, this is his first book of poetry.

Paris Views by Michael Joyce

Anyone who loves Paris will find that literarily-overdetermined city brought to 
new life---new and not particularly literary, for through Joyce's sharp, quick, 
and cleverly amorous eye, Paris is evoked not as objet d'art, but as sloppily, raucously,
lived; as an idiosyncratic confluence of specific instances that shed deep light
 on the way that individual perception and experience sculpt public space. Throughout,
he makes the most of a delightful and visceral head-on collision of languages to
 construct a space between all utterance that is raw and always reaching out for
 its word---which, though not yet arrived, can be felt coming into being through
 that collision itself.

-Cole Swensen

Faceless Names
by Anna Elena Eyre

Read this book in the dark, with a flashlight. Read this book when you are open,
 really open to the world, to your world, to language and rain. Anna Elena Eyre 
writes magnificent poems, poems that breathe and sing and imagine and paint. I am
very grateful to her.

Counting Sheep Till Doomsday
by Carlo Matos

Much like the "Relaxed Bared-Teeth Display" he describes in his poem of the same
 name, Matos's poetry kindly bites you...the reader gets playful-yet-poignant, bite-sized
poetic declarations and imaginative and unforgettable landscapes of more teeth, 
flashcards, electric fences, court cases and death rays. Here the bizarre and everyday
meet in unique combinations in a succession of wild and intriguing poems. Matos 
treats language refreshingly as his own Mr. Potato Head doll warning us, "That is
not how you intimidate an octopus."

-Lina ramona Vitkauskas, author of The Range of Your Amazing Nothing
