Poetry. Written in and around the Spring of 2009, composed of short, fragmentary blocks of verse and prose, including several quoted sources, GUSTONBOOK is a workman's notebook of sorts sketched out in response to several years spent contemplating the work and life of painter Philip Guston in relation to the ongoing world, i.e., exhibitions, books on/about Guston, other books/art works amid daily walks, drinks, and talks. More explorations than explanations, the entries contained herein situate the eye of memory as witness to the immediate surrounds of now: day to day, hour by hour, the concern never (always) changing. As Guston once said, gesturing out the window, "Who wants that? and you can't have it anyway."

A humbler resemblance to The H.D. Book than The Pound Era, Patrick James Dunagan’s The Duncan Era: One Reader’s Cosmology is an account of how we might very well begin to read America’s most essential poet since Pound and Williams. The accounts of community—featuring Jack Spicer, Robin Blaser, and Jess—do not disappoint, sounding out the beginnings of a possible literary cosmology to further explore the origins, life, and fate of Duncan’s poetry. Richard Blevins, author of The Art of The Serial Poem
