Talisman: A Journal of Poetry and Poetics has a new issue #45--2017
online at http://www.talismanmag.net with a Basil King section and the
characteristic Talisman array of interesting poetry and essays. Burt
Kimmelman did a great job of editing for publisher/editor Ed Foster a
section on my work which, besides including a 34 poem series ("Not Even
Rabbits Go Down This Hole (preverbs)") and seven axial drawings from the
Dakini-Duende Series (2016), has an intro by Burt and eleven
essays/statements on my work by Vyt Bakaitis, William Benton, Edward S.
Casey, Andrew Joron, Robert Kelly, Burt Kimmelman,Kimberly Lyons, Murat
Nemet-Nejat,Carter Ratcliff, Gary Shapiro and**Charles Stein. (Talisman
House is also the publisher of one of the three volumes of preverbs out
last year: "The Daimon of the Moment (preverbs)".)
Harriet Blog featured a short presentation of the Talisman section at
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2017/01/talisman-features-special-section-on-george-quasha/.
I'm especially impressed by, and grateful for, the variety of careful
approaches to discussing the poetics of "preverbs" and other work
(discussions of "axial stones" and "Ainu Dreams" as well).
