New Books from David Brazil and Pattie McCarthy!

J/J Hastain — The Yet to be Pronounced Pronouns

“If Georges Bataille were a queer living in San Francisco in 2012, this could be xem, building and dismantling gender, that is, building and dismantling form itself. j/j hastain is writing a no-holds-barred break-neck love song that conflates the meaty and the sacramental. Here is love’s avid desire for detail, and love’s sacred, impossible overflow.” —Robert Gluck [...]

Beverly Dahlen — THE FIRST THREE BOOKS

LRL e-editions is thrilled to bring Beverly Dahlen’s first three books back to print in a single volume: Out of the Third (Momo’s Press, 1974), A Letter at Easter: To George Stanley (Effie’s Press, 1976), and The Egyptian Poems (Hipparchia Press, 1983). Also included are Robert Duncan’s afterword to the Hipparchia edition, as well as [...]

Sarah Mangold — I MEANT TO BE TRANSPARENT

See Tsering Wangmo Dhompa’s write up on this book at the Harriet blog. “It was more like an impressionist portrait than an identification photo” writes Sarah Mangold in this book woven through the writing of early 20th century literary innovator Dorthy Richardson and the contours of contemporary poetics. Taking her title from a line in [...]

David Brazil — ECONOMY

In David Brazil’s ECONOMY a meditation takes shape as prosody, and the material trace of that effort is everywhere in evidence. Such a scrap heap of thought in facsimile might at first be reminiscent of Francis Ponge’s notational practice in The Making of the Pré. However, in Brazil’s pré/conomics the field’s littered with home furnishings: [...]

Pattie McCarthy — L&O

In this, the fourth book from Pattie McCarthy, repetition marks the coordinates of maternity and childhood. Divided into two sections, the first “Liminal” opens between the death of a father and the speaker’s pregnancy. “…it’s easy to disappear/ completely into it. masses of flowers” McCarthy writes while rendering a figure neither wholly swallowed by grief [...]

Sarah Campbell — EVERYTHING WE COULD ASK FOR

“It’s as if a mirror came flashing up–and then off again: reflection then opacity … and then a space (depth) of desire.” –Laura Mullen (on Campbell’s The Maximum) In this second collection, Campbell’s richly minimal poems come once again, as poet Zack Finch has written, “sieved out of turbulence,” pressed to the point that each [...]

Brian Mornar — THREE AMERICAN LETTERS

“We receive, but how do we speak?” writes Brian Mornar in Three American Letters. Part poetics, part physical manifesto and essay, Mornar takes on the lyric in the gleaming line between urban and outskirts, between speech and movement, in American poetry: “…always on a string between the farm and the city finds reassurance in this [...]

Mathew Timmons — Sound Noise

Sounded through a persian rug (or snagged carpet) of google searches, Mathew Timmons pries apart how we receive and process sensory information. As if search alerts themselves were as much mirror as atomized prosthesis, Timmons replicates a pattern attuned to static in the gaps — one that signals the subtle difference between Sound and Noise [...]

Gloria Frym — Any Time Soon

“In the case of Vietnam, what is a reference” writes Michael Palmer over 20 years ago in the context of a different war and different time. In Any Time Soon, Frym writes from the reality that “there is no post war” or external context from which to view our current saturation. Language occurs in the [...]

Eléna Rivera — Remembrance of Things Plastic

In Remembrance of Things Plastic, Eléna Rivera charts a path between cultural displacement and the hyper-pull of consumer images. Migrating from the strictures of girlhood (“Marooned in a room the size of a dollhouse”) through the acculturation implicit in Garbo’s eyebrows, Rivera laments the social split between self-hood and the feminine body — the insurgent [...]

Tina Darragh & Marcella Durand — Deep eco pré

Filtered through Ponge’s approximate presque, the pre of the ”Ding an sich,” this collaboration between Tina Darragh and Marcella Durand writes and rewrites the endlessly rewritten eco-/ego-poetics of our moment. All too human, these bellwethers appeal to the sentient and non-sentient, repeal the very sentences they parse into phrases, and limp toward, having lost or [...]

Divya Victor — SUTURES

“In writing that excites its forms with cultural complexity, Divya Victor challenges what otherwise goes unremarked in the regenerate exceptionalism of US American poetics. In work that pulses with playfulness and sober restraint, the hard facts of immigration and the skills required for global citizenship are ensnared in a global economy of production and consumption [...]

Norma Cole — Do the Monkey

“In Do the Monkey Norma Cole celebrates a vibrant life of the mind and body. The Olympics come up, along with other sports, and it turns out that we citizens of ordinary life are the true Olympians. This quotidian heroism is suggested by lines from “HEAVY LIFTING,” — “At eight I was brilliant with my [...]

Yedda Morrison — Darkness (Chapter 1)

In Darkness, Yedda Morrison erases—or, significantly, “whites out”—chapter 1 of Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness leaving behind only the words and phrases that reference the natural world. Morrison’s aim is not to comment on the original, but to cull or reframe the remains: “luminous estuary / brooding gloom / sea.” In this brilliantly dark contribution to [...]

Ted Greenwald — Permenant Record

Stripped down to what sticks, the patterns that emerge from these discreet accretions are as satisfying to the ear as they are to the eye. Modular lines are the daily grind; finding their way to work and reworking their ways, potshards and particulars have an inexplicable emotional edge, an edge that has little to do [...]
