Ted and I exchanged lines back and forth over email, sometimes multiple times in a day and never less than every few days. After a while neither of us could fully separate what each had done, we were blowing together, back and forth, in a duet of, and as, time, bouncing off the moment as if it were a trampoline, tripping out into the eternity of the company, from dark to delight. There was no sense of unnecessary limit, no register we couldn’t play. The experience was of freedom within the constraints we made up intuitively for each poem. – Charles Bernstein More → https://www.roofbooks.com/ted-greenwald-kit-robinson daily 0.75 2022-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/35090559-8dc0-411a-bb36-e834b2ab3f92/robinson_mammal.png Ted Greenwald & Kit Robinson - Make it stand out A MAMMAL OF STYLE by Ted Greenwald & Kit Robinson Two serious laddies. Six serial works. 138 pages. Ten years in the making. One helluva book called … A Mammal of Style. Throughout their long friendship, Ted Greenwald and Kit Robinson have developed a way of thinking, talking and writing that picks up on whatever’s “in the air” of contemporary living. In this book they channel a mystery poet whose work emerges from the close interaction of two distinct sensibilities, one on each coast, connected by the U.S. Postal Service, the Internet and the occasional coffee or drink.

Opening with a line from William Carlos Williams' "The Descent," and written over a period when the world was said to have reason for optimism (December 1988-1990), this work expresses a darker(and as it turns out more realistic) tenderness. The world wasn't wasted during those years, but it is as it is now, and this poem is intensely immediate, with the world even in the context of maturing sadness. I hope many people will read and love this book." - Lyn Hejinian More → https://www.roofbooks.com/planetary-gear daily 0.75 2024-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/b506ae75-bd44-4952-a074-d65c6179d0b6/pearson_planetary.png Planetary Gear 74 pages ISBN: 978-0-937804-43-8 Publication date: April 1991 $20.00 https://www.roofbooks.com/jack-and-jill-in-troy daily 0.75 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/49182021-c7c5-41ad-a4ad-f4b1aea9bca3/perelman_jackjill.png Jack and Jill in Troy 96 pages ISBN: 978-1-931824-82-8 Publication date: November 2019 $20.00 https://www.roofbooks.com/the-future-of-memory daily 0.75 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/084e1335-0e93-47be-a6bc-d364d3956a5e/perelman_future.png The Future of Memory 115 pages ISBN: 978-0-937804-75-9 Publication date: January 1998 $20.00 https://www.roofbooks.com/iflife daily 0.75 2024-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/0eb20b9e-7a73-4e74-8c1c-0a63dc674dfb/perelman_iflife.png IFLIFE 133 pages ISBN: 978-1-931824-21-7 Publication date: March 2007 $20.00 https://www.roofbooks.com/face-value daily 0.75 2024-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/1305a433-3a91-4e7d-bf8a-9b59b1b02f15/perelman_face.png Face Value 70 pages ISBN: 978-0-937804-26-1 Publication date: September 1988 Please contact publisher directly. https://www.roofbooks.com/virtual-reality daily 0.75 2022-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/e6300ffb-277b-43e0-a62e-51c6cce0e595/perelman_virtual.png Virtual Reality 64 pages ISBN: 978-0-937804-49-0 Publication date: September 1993 Please contact publisher directly. https://www.roofbooks.com/bob-perelman daily 0.75 2025-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/49182021-c7c5-41ad-a4ad-f4b1aea9bca3/perelman_jackjill.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/084e1335-0e93-47be-a6bc-d364d3956a5e/perelman_future.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/5f908ae9-a7e7-4560-87ad-a86cfe3f9e64/PerelmanCov.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/0eb20b9e-7a73-4e74-8c1c-0a63dc674dfb/perelman_iflife.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/1305a433-3a91-4e7d-bf8a-9b59b1b02f15/perelman_face.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/e6300ffb-277b-43e0-a62e-51c6cce0e595/perelman_virtual.png https://www.roofbooks.com/we-plie daily 0.75 2024-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/1fc6810e-b8d3-4358-b026-4c8a4549dc7c/phillips_weplie.png We Plié 120 pages ISBN: 978-1-931824-63-7 Publication date: October 2015 $20.00 https://www.roofbooks.com/patrick-r-phillips daily 0.75 2022-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/31b4b54b-073d-4c75-a079-e78512134cc4/phillips_weplie.png Patrick R. Phillips - Make it stand out WE PLIÉ by Patrick R. Phillips Kevin Davies once said Patrick R. Phillips is “our Larry Eigner.” Comparisons only approximate, but the location in the terrain of poets is apt. Phillips’ we plié echoes Eigner’s status as outsider, the experimenter with love, language and place, nature-fed that in turn feeds poets more in the center of experiment. In similar locale, Lorine Neidecker in her spare nature, her Wisconsin, mop in hand, is in these poems, too.

The resulting experience is a thrilling “excavation of the nous,” drawing us into a realm where point of view, connotation, misdirection, and other rhetorical and prestidigitational devices are deployed in a tender but unyielding attack on the illusions we share.

“There is no escape from trees by means of trees.” The ordinary objects to which Francis Ponge directs his attention—a tree, an oyster, a cigarette—come uncannily alive in his seminal first book of prose poems, newly translated. Published in 1942, as Ponge was enlisting in the Resistance to the Nazi occupation of France, these poems offer their own dryly humorous resistance to our tendency to take “things” for granted as either dead matter or as commodities for our disposal.

One central activity of this poem is listening, to language public and private, living and mediated, and to texts we read silently or aloud to one another.

Consider the “story problems” of high school math class.

It is about linguistic contagion and statist collusion, the fate of labor and play as literary genre (i.e. “essay”), the utility of public art and site-specificity in the post-medium age, the plasticity of gender, the metaphysics of lyric address, and several other topics. It was written between 1998 and 2012, mostly toward the end of that period.

As a translator, he performs sensitive work that preserves the alterity of medieval Arabic poetry without stooping to exoticism or hermetic dodges. His original poetry is an unconventional counterpart to this practice. It is profane, musical, and, as announced on the cover of Larsen’s 2005 debut The Thorn, “easy to read.” More → https://www.roofbooks.com/kevin-killian-david-brazil daily 0.75 2025-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627ab05dc194f218ff32e343/715e1181-7f6a-4846-8bcf-c1b80f35a290/killian-brazil.jpg Kevin Killian and David Brazil - Make it stand out THE KENNING ANTHOLOGY OF POETS THEATER: 1945-1985 by Kevin Killian and David Brazil With new interest in poetry as a performative art, and with prewar experiments much in mind, the young poets of postwar America infused the stage with the rhythms and shocks of their poetry.

And the sources of its argument are just as varied–The Thebaid of Statius, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, or Melrose Place.
