George Albon | Empire Life | Littoral | 1998
“Mass resets interior.” Tight.
Kamau Brathwaite | SAVE COWPASTOR | www.tomraworth.com/wordpress
The complete archives of this Web site, spanning many years, are word-in-and-as-witness to CowPastor’s destruction.
Peter Culley | Hammertown | New Star | 2003
A double writing this, but within sevens, form springs beauty.
Emily Dickinson | Selected Letters | Harvard | 1986
There’s probably a better and fuller edition out there somewhere, and if not, there should be. All the same, life-changing.
Paul Foster Johnson | Refrains/Unworkings | Apostrophe | 2008
We may be “immoderate,” but this book says it beautifully moderately.
Rachel Levitsky | Neighbor | Ugly Duckling | 2009
This book illuminated the complex workings of my 30-unit tenement building within the larger political and social systems within which we exist.
Michèle Métail | La route de cinq pieds | Tarabuste | 2006
Another example of Métail’s innovating form around content around form (going way past Oulipo): in this case, a route through China in five-syllable form drawn from Chinese classical poetry.
Jennifer Moxley | Clampdown | Flood | 2009
Bought at and devoured after her reading at the Poetry Project this spring. (And The Middle Room shortly thereafter.)
Charles Olson | Call Me Ismael | Johns Hopkins | 1997
Some necessary ecology to which I was way too long delayed.
Kristin Prevallet | [I, Afterlife] [Essay in Mourning Time] | Essay Press | 2007
Gets into, beautifully, the disconnects between land, life, death, action, “me” and “world.”
Karen Weiser | To Light Out | Ugly Duckling | 2009
Communiqués from the gorgeous static of growing things.
Honorable mentions: Lyx Ish’s essay in Avant-Gardening, Black Geographies and the Politics of Place; C.S. Giscombe’s Prairie Style; Maurice Maeterlinck and L.L. Langstroth’s books on bees; Kevin Varrone reading from passyunk lost at the Poetry Project (and now the book has finally arrived!).
