Attention Span 2011 | Leonard Schwartz
Raul Zurita, trans. William Rowe | Inri | Marick | 2009
This extraordinary Chilean poet is now more fully available to English language readers.
Raul Zurita, trans. Anna Deeny | Purgatory | California | 2010
Zurita’s poetry is both Orphic and politically powerful at once.
Maged Zaher | Portrait of the Poet As An Engineer | Pressed Wafer | 2009
The contemporary writer the furthest inside and the most outside the English language as we know it….
Gustaf Sobin | Collected Poems | Talisman | 2010
This book brings a life-work together… “A national treasure,” just as Rain Taxi wrote.
Robert Duncan | The H.D. Book | California | 2011
Finally!
Evie Shockley | The New Black | Wesleyan | 2011
These poems prove that poetry can think.
Brenda Iijima, ed. | (Eco (Lang) (Uage (Reader)) | Portable Press at Yo-Yo Labs / Nightboat | 2010
This anthology is crucial reading for those seeking out a more complicated relationship to “nature” than “nature poetry” would otherwise offer.
Jonathon Stalling | Grotto Heaven | Chax | 2010
A poetry that works its way into the space between the languages English and Chinese as no one has been able to manage before….
Susan Gevirtz | Aeordome Orion & Starry Messanger | Kelsey Street | 2010
Technique sharpens the imagination into a new relationship to the sky, which is and is not a limit.
John Taggart | Is Music | Copper Canyon | 2010
Taggart’s Selected allows us to listen to this poetry deeply. Does anyone have a better ear than John Taggart?
Kiki Smith and Leslie Scalapino | The Animal Is In The World Like Water In Water | Granary
This exquisitely produced book, a collaboration between artist Smith and poet Scalapino, shocks and delights. Smith’s drawings and Scalapino’s poems from the book are reproduced in part in How Phenomena Appear to Unfold, 2011, from Litmus Press—but the Granary ultra-suede edition is very special and gets you the whole work.

Robert Duncan , ed. Michael Boughn and Victor Coleman | The HD Book | California | 2011
At last! Even if you don’t like Duncan (and quite a few don’t), this is still not to be ignored. Its publication a major event of the year.
Tony Judt | Ill Fares the Land | Penguin | 2010
I lament his death, he’s irreplaceable. Not to heed his work, these essays, would be sheer folly.
Norma Cole | To Be At Music: Essays & Talks | Omnidawn | 2010
Brilliant, pithy, full of news.
George Bowering | My Darling Nelly Gray | Talonbooks | 2010
Bowering in top form.
Robert Pogue Harrison | The Body of Beatrice | Hopkins | 1988
An oldie but goodie, still opening doors.
Meredith Quartermain, drawings by Susan Bee | Recipes From the Red Planet | Book Thug | 2010
I’m not exactly impartial here, but hey, this is really a very interesting and indeed good book. The publisher calls it fiction; it’s more like poetry to me, and resourceful.
Lissa Wolsak | Squeezed Light: Collected Poems 1994-2005 | Station Hill | 2010
Dense, difficult, bracing—can I say these wide-ranging poems are obsessed with words? They’re sure instructive to anyone who cares about them, and really are exhilarating in their astonished thought.
Guy Birchard | Further Than The Blood | Pressed Wafer | 2010
This is Birchard’s sixth or maybe seventh book of poetry, but nobody seems to have noticed. Maybe his poems are too subtle and careful, perhaps the mode at casual glance too familiar, the skill too unobtrusive.
Michael Boughn | Cosmographia: A Post-Lucretian Micro-Epic | Book Thug | 2010
Issued in fascicles over the last few years, and at last collected together. Boughn is a terrific poet, who actually thinks as he writes. He can be very funny; sometimes he’s very angry. He’s always without fail interesting, so long as you’re paying attention.
Stéphane Mallarmé, trans. Barbara Johnson | Divagations: The Author’s 1897 Arrangement | Belknap / Harvard | 2007
Delighted to find this still in print.
