Ec(o)logues

Peter Lamborn Wilson

Of Ec(o)logues, a Menippean Satyre (mixed poetry and prose, mixed serious and humorous) inspired by Virgil’s Eclogues, Charles Stein writes, "It is my hope that this book will come as something of a revelation to the world of poetry: a revelation that poetry this good and good in this way can be produced in our times; good as rhythmically and sonorously exciting, expressive, intuitive, intelligent, well-measured, suitably barbaric, historically redolent, politically, metaphysically, even soteriologically astute..."

Uncertainties

Robert Kelly

Uncertainties is a meditation on the care and quick of being alive at its defiant and elegiac full by one of the masters of the American poetic continuum. This cycle of 125 poems is composed principally in two-line stanzas, or couplets: A form seemingly slight but bending and capable of compassing large ranges, including a life. As Kelly writes: "Call and response.  The breathing body of poetry from the beginning. The psalms of David, the wave of them, rise and fall of plainchant, verse and response..."

Untam'd Wing

Jeffrey C. Robinson
