Download or read book Pursuing the Dream Bone written by Morton Marcus and published by Quale Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. PURSUING THE DREAM BONE is a new collection of prose poetry from Morton Marcus. Reflecting on everything from the mundane to the sacred, Marcus explores issues of family, identity, loss, and the simple joys of everyday life. His style--by turns witty, poignant, and compassionate--remains fresh and accessible. More personal than his other prose poem books, PURSUING THE DREAM BONE continues Marcus's parable-like examination of the human condition in pieces that are alternately antic, whimsical, somber and elegiac. As Al Young has said about Morton Marcus's previous prose poems, "I couldn't get enough of this delectable stuff, and there is nothing like it anywhere."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Virgil and the Mountain Cat, David Lau's first book of poems, evokes the shattering of Western civilization (not its collapse, but the tense, apprehensive moment before the cracked vessel falls apart). What commanded trust now provokes a nihilistic retaliatory mischief-making poetic language, in which the only redemptive element, if there is one, is what Alain Badiou calls the 'engine' of excess in the greatest 20th century art, excess of the kind that allows for change, a revolution. Lau's high-voltage language is a measure of the passion of (and for) belief that has been lost. Lau is a remarkable young poet."—Calvin Bedient, author of Candy Necklace "It's after the end of the world, and David Lau is our last first poet of the future past. When words have nowhere left to go, they need a new Virgil to guide them sideways in time, to where they can become ferociously fractal as the cry of a mountain cat. The microtonal resistances of Lau's language both remove and remotivate meaning: what the poet 'saw was raw war.' David Lau's work enacts a great refusal that lights fuses beneath the psycho-political dome."—Andrew Joron, author of The Sound Mirror "The scary accomplishment of Virgil and the Mountain Cat is to remind a reader that poetry has the capacity to disturb, rather than calm, one's nervous system. Lau's poems are knowing and proficient and care nothing for your feelings. Punk in its spirit, sure to prove alienating to most readers over thirty, and spoken from a place deep 'inside the annotations,' this book is an unforgiving glimpse of the horizonless present."—Mark Levine, author of The Wilds

Book excerpt: Poetry. "These eloquent prose poems journey over a vast landscape of human experience, myth, folk tale, and family history.

Download or read book On the Cruz written by Ron Lampi and published by . This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet, philosopher, and dedicated chronicler Ron Lampi brings the unique treasure that is Santa Cruz, California, to life in this collection. A companion column is Lampi's "Bay of Monterey," both collections "presenting the parallel running inspirations that begin to bring into form the mythos of place, which today is fundamental to the emerging Mythos of the New Age." From lyrical and comic to serene and passionate, Lampi serenades the joyous contrasts of this vibrant locale with an appreciation that inspires the reader to imagine and experience their own world through the eyes of the artist and poet. The tale of the 1989 earthquake moves one to tears, as do the depictions of some of the street characters who call this place home. Once you dive into it, you will not be able to put this book down... Santa Cruz the Bubble They say people here live in a bubble, that Santa Cruz exists in its own dream world, an illusory of a beautiful bubble dream world, a seducing all over casualness of attitude you find often makes for this fog-brained, fuzzy of a kind'a whatever, hangin' loose-like way of perception- A haven they say Santa Cruz is of the weird & the wacky, a never-wanna-grow-up land of Peter Pans the rest of the adult country, the real world, as they say, loves to poke fun of- Oh, Santa Cruz-weird is the word, you know, a notoriously laid-back, surfin' dude town, lots of your squishy soft, do-gooder, progressive liberals & time-warped flower children left over from the Sixties... But there is so much more about The Cruz, however its shimmering unreality of bubble people here might give all the impression of living in. There is more, there is something quite other, something revelatory you had not expected, happening here- Enter the bubble & you'll find a swirl of a vortex in it, a fitful creativity churning in the cauldron of the bubble- There's new life astir in the swirl of this vortex, in the fitful creativity churning & churning in the cauldron of the bubble, an emerging divine shining presence out here on the continent's edge, where Goddess of this place, our Bay of Monterey, is all so apparent in Her splendor, where, within the bubble -hidden to the pundits of everyday worldliness-, our Goddess is giving birth to the Unheard-of, to burst through from inside the bubble- It is the coming-to-us from out of the Pacific of the future's Golden Child.
Download or read book Virgil and the Mountain Cat written by David Lau and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-03-02 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once uncompromising and highly inventive, David Lau's poems are imbued with a musicality that lightens the dark undertones of spoliation and entropy. Many of the poems embody a nexus of interaction with historical events, films, modernist poetic texts, and works of art—but from this allusion and evocation, a multifarious voice emerges. In these pages, the electric linguistic experiment meets a new urban, postnatural poetics, one in which poetry is not just a play of signs and seemings but also a prismatic investigation of our contemporary order: "Hurry up before our factory leaves. / The first column of the Freedom Tower / traduces its ensorcellment in the facade." Here is a poetry both deeply lyrical and resistant, a poetry relentless in its invention and its stance against the apathy of convention and consumption.
