Old Women Look Like This by Susan M. Schultz

Old Women Look Like This by Susan M. Schultz

Inspired by a series of paintings by Elizabeth Berdann, Old Women Look Like This by Susan M. Schultz is about very old age.

An imaginative off-shoot of her Dementia Blog.

Doom Cusp by David Meltzer

Doom Cusp by David Meltzer

Doom Cusp is dedicated to the California artist Wallace Berman who was one of Meltzer's mentors when he became exiled there from Brooklyn. Berman's use of the Hebrew alphabet and especially the Aleph in his collages, reminded Meltzer of the presences of the Holocaust and seemed relevant today in the midst of another series of Holy Wars and their ultimate futility.

Solzhenitsyn Jukebox by Ann Bogle

Solzhenitsyn Jukebox by Ann Bogle

Ann Bogle's Solzhenitsyn Jukebox is a collection of stories where texts create themselves out of shreds of recollections, leaps of logic, and the constant self-adjustment of narrative imperatives; spinning themselves out in the process of going along under their own momentum. This is akin to what the critic and culturologist Mikhail Iampolsky referred to as the poetry of "caresse".

A Year of Ordinary Moments by Rich Curtis

A Year of Ordinary Moments by Rich Curtis

As a performance art piece, Rich Curtis became a licensed notary public in 2009. Since that time he has notarized many things, none of which have been legal documents. Curtis is fascinated by the idea of being legally bound to TRUTH. His personal view that truth is inherently subjective runs counter to the notion of a legal and absolute truth. As part of this project he devised an exercise of witnessing one true thing each day. For the most part Curtis tried to pick the most obscure, least significant event of a given day. He distilled each of these moments into one sentence. The result of this is A Year of Ordinary Moments, where the body of the text is the result of his daily observations.

Brainiography by Evelyn Posamentier

Brainiography by Evelyn Posamentier

In Brainiography Evelyn Posamentier creates a dreamscape in which objects become animate and humans objectified, both inhabiting a marginal realm between physical and virtual dimensions. In language that is neither pre-modern nor postmodern, a compelling narrative brings language to a turning point. Here is poetry responsive to encounters with world and technology—brutal and immediate. A new form of witness.

King Amour by Jack Foley

King Amour by Jack Foley

Jack Foley's King Amour is a series of amour-plated adventures that take the rider on a fifty-year journey in a soi-disant con-sciousness that takes itself serially and postulates both pos and impostures in a grand, grad granulation of mic and picturation. The Kong is dead, but the Konig kicks. Who but Amour would dorothy these ravings? As the great, inspiring, and possibly loony Samuel Greenberg wrote, 'The blue, faded purple, horizon mount / Seemed to bellow the valleys in mists / Of enriching, ensuing, divine shadowings... / Where may this be?'

Sharks of Mary Shelley by Jeff Harrison

Sharks of Mary Shelley by Jeff Harrison

Sparagmos Never Mind the Via Negativa by Jim Leftwich

Sparagmos Never Mind the Via Negativa by Jim Leftwich

The word is flesh. Tear it apart, syllable by syllable. Tear the syllables apart, letter by letter. There is no longer any need to begin with the word. We have already torn the letters apart. The word made flesh, the letters made noise... Eat it—raw. Jim Leftwich's Sparagmos Never Mind the Via Negativa was written in May 2010 using a Logitech EX 100 keyboard. It is a text, but it is not a text about reading.

Experimental Sex Hospital by Todd Swift

Experimental Sex Hospital by Todd Swift

Todd Swift’s Experimental Sex Hospital is the ebook sequel to his critically acclaimed, Mainstream Love Hotel. Shadowing that previous work, the poems here deepen and lengthen the poet's exploration of desire and devotion, and, aesthetically, the tension between innovation and tradition in contemporary poetic styles. As in all Swift's work, musicality, sense of form, and wordplay fuse with elevated and street-level tones that create a zany, risk-taking book-text that interrogates ideas of self-identity and poetics, with an earnest eroticism. Barely literature, or literally bare, these are poems that enjoy walking naked with a flamboyant display.

Neolipic by John M. Bennett

Neolipic by John M. Bennett

158 poems (or barely constrained outbursts) written in the Spring of 2009 in which John M. Bennett tries to reformat the world with a swarm of linguistic distortions and formal jiggling, bursting out of the thin shirt of consciousness to reveal what's out there and also what's in there. The poems are textual, visual, aural, multi-lingual (English, Spanish—or their simulacra—and bits of French and Globbolalia). Unlike anything else written.

The Ashes of Thoreau by Chris Mansel

The Ashes of Thoreau by Chris Mansel

Chris Mansel writes like a man without a country. Each poem of The Ashes of Thoreau is a labyrinth of fragmentation and resolve. The projection is dense but difficult to abandon. Like cinema, it will leave you entertained by the time you step back into the light.
