The boundaries of time and form do not exist for Ivan Argüelles – they never have. While we’ve been occupied by the... More >
singular idea, trapped in a moment,
Argüelles has refused to play by the rules or even accept the need for the game. His poetry exposes that idea as the provisional, phony construct that
it is. Where most find chaos he discovers and sings sublime music. Earthy, psychedelic, profane, divinatory and sacred, these Ulterior Vision(s) are another distinct verse in
a song that began nowhere and never ends. Through the day after day practice of such poetry this poet is
living his work, an other life, an ulterior existence “in the electric dazzling we are.” - Jake Berry < Less

Márton Koppány and Jim Leftwich’s Book of Numbers is a visual and conceptual collaboration exploring a “vocabulary of... More > correspondences” between letters and numbers. The result is a sequence of words, letters, numbers, patterns, lines, onions, leaves, cayenne peppers, and nails in wood. It all makes sense, or makes several senses, and the pleasure is in tracing those senses through the concepts and images they embody. < Less

John M. Bennett’s The Gnat’s Window shows the evolution of a new form combining the textual, the oral, the visual, and... More > even the artifactual, as the pieces can be seen as windows, or televisions, or computer screens. The poems can be read left-to-right as traditional texts, or up-and-down, or in-and-out, or in any number of other configurations, and thus have participatory and even performative dimensions within what at first glance seems to be a closed form. They are “dreams’ doubled crust” indeed: shaped and emotional, conceptual and somatic, sparklingly clear, and enigmatic. < Less

Edward Lense has written a series of strong, personal poems on the metaphysical framework of a deck of Tarot cards, a... More > device, with its fascinating ambiguity and resonance, that serves his purpose remarkably well. The Tarot concepts work as a kind of I Ching-like throw of the coins to stimulate meditations on the poet’s life that are both passionate and fully guided. Accompanying these poems are drawings by Bruce Robinson, which have a roughness that speaks to the underlying torment in the poems, related at times to a kind of theological undertow that seems present in both. The Great Wheel seems to be a force of destruction and death, running through this work’s conscious or unconscious voices, and challenging the reader to confront a fuller understanding of what it means to be alive. As the poet says here, “Another body stirs inside my body,/its slow pulse not the beat of my heart but the tides,/a cloud of blood suspended in water.” < Less

Here is a different Peter Ganick, whose newest poems, resoundingly philosophical, metaphysical in their musicality, become... More > more tangible, more directly shaped in a context more
intellectually quotidian than that of previous work. Boundaries created for these Wednesday poems, appropriately titled for middle-of-the-week realities, allow humor, reflection, human feeling, to a greater degree than Ganick’s recent, prior poems. The mind within and beneath these pieces is infinitely shimmering, even as the poet’s signature sotto voce consistently asserts itself. The word evidence comes to mind as I experience surprise, delight, and full engagement in the life of Peter Ganick’s newest and very welcome volume.

These clean, crisp-looking visual poems stand in contrast to Matthew Stolte’s recent work which makes much use of smeared... More > paint and ink, partial forms, layerings, and other devices to create a veritable storm of lettristic forms and words. In these Magnetic Poems the colorful letter-forms are stable as found, and merely arranged on galvanized metal sheets. There is, however, an inherent instability in the original pieces, in that anyone could move the magnetic letters around. So this book can be seen as a moment stopped in time, as these pieces no doubt look different today. Because even moving them around is likely to jostle their arrangement. Thus this book is a talisman to the inherent protean nature of poetry and of the language of which it is made. -John M. Bennett < Less
