Seth Price | How to Disappear in America | Leopard | 2008
The ultimate how-to guide for the hobo Houdini in us all. The book itself has almost disappeared from circulation—for now at least, it can be ordered online from Ooga Booga.
Robert Kelly | Fire Exit | Black Widow | 2009
R Kelly may have reached the height of his fame in the 70s; he may be reaching the height of his powers in his 70s. The strongest case yet made against flarf….
Monica de la Torre | Public Domain | Roof | 2008
Will the real Monica de la Torre please stand up? An important addition to the growing pantheon of conceptual writing.
Miles Champion | Eventually | The Rest Press | 2008
The cover, the endpapers, the front matter, the body, the colophon…. A true chapbook de résistance.
Stuart Bailey, ed. | Dot Dot Dot 18 & 19 | Dexter Sinister | 2009-2010
The ne plus ultra of contemporary meta-journal design. Not well enough known among poetry types, Dot Dot Dot regularly features writing by Seth Price, Angie Keefer, Liam Gillick and more. Conceptual? Relational? Quasi-conceptual? Or all of the above.
Clark Coolidge | The Act of Providence | Combo | 2010
The graphomanic master returns with a hometown epic. In the grand tradition of Maximus and Paterson—sort of.
Chris Burnett | SprawlCode: descriptions | Preacher’s Biscuit | 2006
Got forty dollars burning a hole in your pocket? You could buy one share of BP and hate yourself. Or you could procure this beautifully printed, brilliantly conceived book that somehow hasn’t yet sold out, despite having been printed in an edition of only 100 copies. Consider cornering the market. (Special shout out also to Journal of Artists’ Books 24 edited by Craig Dworkin and Kyle Schlesinger, which features a fascinating meta-road trip dialogue between Burnett and Tate Shaw.)
Reza Negarestani | Cyclonopedia: Complicity With Anonymous Materials | re: press | 2008
Page turning theory-fiction. One part Bataille, one part Deleuze, one part Said, one part Pynchon: put them in a blender and you have an inimitably paranoid critique of the global petrocracy as seen from the perspective of the underground noosphere.
Drew Daniel | 20 Jazz Funk Greats | Continuum | 2008
A completely engrossing account of Throbbing Gristle’s 20 Jazz Funk Greats. Just the right mix of fandom and critical distance. Read it as you listen to the album—you won’t be bored.
Larry Eigner, ed. Curtis Faville and Robert Grenier | Collected Poems | Stanford | 2010
Who wants a wi-fi Kindle for $139 when you can have the four-volume Collected Poems of Larry Eigner? At $120, 3,072 poems comes out to less than four cents each. A bargain in disguise.
