road song for by Lars Palm, €12
D e p r e s s u r e ; placement is in a sociocultural and sociogeographic
sense poetry; oncesilence.gov: as every twig snapped; as non-equivalence:
delusions are a wonderful tool for all manner of artists, whom are subject
to Lars Palm, who often use them to cast a clearer light on reality; and
reality this is, what comes after this, is [ repeat ] — Freke Räihä
Mammals of Hoarfrost by Pearl Pirie, €5
Little dense vowel codes per line accrue to wowza table-risk song! — Phil
Hall
long play e.p. by steven dalachinsky, €5
Poetry & Jazz: possibly the most truly autochthonous North American art
combo. Both a high & a popular tradition, way too neglected by the high
literati & their low theory-pundits as a formal & spontaneous process that
happens “inside / the skillside of the skull” — as the amazing Steven
Dalachinsky has it in this lovely, lovely book, a set of poems that sets
him squarely (hiply?) in a line starting (in my book) with Kenneth Rexroth
& culminating today with, well, maestro Dalachin- sky, an unequaled
delight, a must. — Pierre Joris
one columbus leap by Anamaría Crowe Serrano, €5
Weaving poetry and short prose, one columbus leap fascinates as it evokes
a human being progressing toward a “never” that “awaits”. At once vividly
precise and full of unsettling metaphorical resonance, Anamaría Crowe
Serrano’s sequence sails be- yond the year 1492 and the discoverer of the
New World; it lands amid startling natural profusion, but also illness and
lucre: it encounters us. — John Taylor
Déja Vu by Bonny Finberg, €5
cracks open the disparateness that makes up the unlikely assemblage known
as “I” as well as its many adjacent and tangential beings. The poet’s
memory is both hers and others, including the Meat Soldier. The poems are
visceral and kaleidoscopic, sensual and disturbing. Not only is Novel in
24 Chapters magnificent, but it serves as a key to the rest of the book.
Each poem is another chapter in a novel without a beginning, middle, or
end, a novel which embraces language in all its soulful ecstasy and wintry
cheerlessness, the highs and lows of being alive and open in these
perilous times. As Ted Berrigan used to say—It’s Terrific. — John Yau
