A Hundred Posters, edited by Alan Davies (CD)
Post~Twya: Reset, Jack Kimball
The New Old Paint, Susie Timmons
Memoir and Essay, Michael Gottlieb
In the mid 1970s Alan Davies edited 40 issues of A Hundred Posters.
Among those whose work appeared were Ginsberg, Wieners, Eigner,
Weiner. The importance of the authors published makes this CD reissue
a solid indication of poetic directions for the present & future.
Initially a spoof of John Ashbery's Flow Chart, Post~Twyla: Reset re-
emphasizes daybook metonymy, lexical captures, & graphical meta-
commentary to upset the "flow." Cantatas for experimental
instruments, jubilant disparities. Alan Davies calls P~T
"unremittingly Burroughs-in-bed."
The New Old Paint is Susie Timmons's second poetry collection. Alice
Notley noted in her first collection Timmons's "naked" train of
thought & her "wit." The same applies here, fully resourceful,
totally unexpected, "Hello, I am your American flag / I know; hard to
believe, / a talking flag."
Jennifer Moxley on Memoir and Essay: "A bright young poet arrives
penniless in a resplendently decaying New York where he finds a group
of like-minded writers. They join ranks and set out to challenge the
establishment. Gottlieb makes this old story new with crisp prose and
thoughtful personal details."
Pre-order before publication, USD$13.00 each (rather than 16.00) or a
full set of 4 for 45.00 (limited offer).
