Book excerpt: Poetry. "CHOPSTICK NUMBERS is a Dionysian vision of a young gay man's coming-out process. The descent into hell and often into humilation is there as he, 'a nice white Catholic fat man,' falls in love and develops a fascination for slim beautiful Asian men and hangs out at an Asian gay disco club. Like Orpheus, he must make the journey to hell to try to bring back what he loves"-Diane Wakoski. "A daily world and its amiably accompanying person make it all for real here -- with deft and accurate surmise. Just think about how many times you've thought of something -- and never said a word! Not so this impressive poet, who keeps it all moving -- period"--Robert Creeley.

Download or read book To and from written by G. E. Patterson and published by Ahsahta Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. African American Studies. Quilting, quoting, and sampling, Patterson sets a flux of impression, emotion, and articulation into vertiginous blank-verse sonnets. "The intention of these fine poems is to be found in the title TO AND FROM. Each poem is surrounded by an arcana of words (mostly commonplace) gleaned from other poets' poems, words that when strung together slide into the poem by Patterson himself. His poems are addressed to a mercurial, form-changing You. The result is paradoxically impersonal, transcending individual and place. One line captures the whole process: 'That loss you know might become anyone.'"--Fanny Howe.
Download or read book Sign written by David Mutschlecner and published by Ahsahta Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. David Mutschlecner's second book from Ashahta Press, SIGN, both evokes the prophecy of an endgame and posits the possibility of enduring aspiration. Contextualized within the sacred, the sparse verse of SIGN illuminates the fall of man and the repercussive realities that cloak the contemporary apocalyptic psyche, both public and personal. Steeped not so much in religion as it is in reckoning, Mutschlecner assigns gravity and a well-tempered philosophy to every word with a language that constantly contends with truth. "The good and gladsome news in Mutschlecner's SIGN is that the ceremonies of innocence are not drowned. Rather they enjoy a continuous, lucent transformation in poems such as these. SIGN is a kinetic missal of new faith and new perfections" --Donald Revell. Mutschlecner's ESSE is also available at SPD.

Book excerpt: Poetry. Greenstreet's highly original CASE SENSITIVE posits a female central character who writes chapbooks that become the sections in this book. "What happens in the book I want to read?" Greenstreet asked herself. "And how would it sound?" Everything the character is reading, remembering, and dreaming turns up in what she writes, duly referenced with notes. Using natural language charged with concision and precise syntax, Greenstreet has created a memorable and lasting first collection. "A poem intrigue of the highest order. Greenstreet has made a brilliant beginning with this first book"--Kathleen Fraser. "A beautiful dwelling of ideas. CASE SENSITIVE suggests that there need be no divide between the associative connections of poetry and the extended thinking of the essay. This is a book full of luminous footnotes, details, and attentive readings. CASE SENSITIVE strings together a series of moments to create something resonate, large, and inclusive"--Juliana Spahr.

Book jacket.

Download or read book Gallowglass written by Susan Tichy and published by Ahsahta Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Susan Tichy is a poet embedded: with U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, twined together through history; in the landscape disrupted by war, perseverating on a deer killed by a mountain lion, or hearing direction in birdsong; and in the language of war: "gallowglass" is a corruption of a Gaelic word for "mercenary soldier," and dark, ancient ballads appear like forensic evidence. Surrounded by cultural touchstones from Pythagoras to the Grateful Dead, Tichy refuses to let the reader's gaze, or her own, turn from the violence of modern living.
Download or read book The Area of Sound Called the Subtone written by Noah Eli Gordon and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. The Area of Sound Called the Subtone, Gordon's second full-length book, won the 2004 Sawtooth Poetry Prize, judged by Claudia Rankine. Rankine writes, "Noah Eli Gordon is a master of the shift between an epigrammatic and aphoristic line. Each utterance is a glance that implodes rhetorical strategies so spectacularly that the spray of intelligence that lingers in this reader's mind is not much different from a cooling shower from an illegally opened fire hydrant. Witty, vivid, and very, very vital, Gordon has entered a higher frequency"-Claudia Rakine.
Download or read book Dick of the Dead written by Rachel Loden and published by Ahsahta Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. DICK OF THE DEAD is an investigation into American sexual and political consciousness, and at its eccentric heart lies the undead and uneasy 37th president of the United States, Richard M. Nixon. Also sifting the evidence (or implicated in its findings) are an experimental subject in a pink tutu, a Finnish gravedigger, an exiled Anglo-Saxon poet, and an industrious gang of fairies. Loden's Nixon is never merely the consummate villain deplored by his critics nor the tragic visionary statesman acclaimed by his apologists. He is nearly a force of nature: throwing off his gravestone in the garden at Yorba Linda, calling up his troops, his family, and even his black and white cocker spaniel, he is ready to smash death by any means necessary, to beat back a sea of pretenders and retake Washington by storm. DICK OF THE DEAD is a trip through the underworld of the American psyche, much funnier and ultimately much more serious than any one book of poems has a right to be.
