Poetry. Allusive, oracular, heretical, brash, learned, apocalyptic, astronomical, funny, lustful, and deceptively wise, Anthony Madrid's long-awaited first collection, I AM YOUR SLAVE NOW DO WHAT I SAY, is a book of ghazals that assault conventions while often reading like deranged love letters.

Prelude Books

Poetry. Written under the spell of a medieval Welsh poetic form, the poems in Anthony Madrid's incantatory second book, TRY NEVER, each offer up their own strange world. They're full of erudition, humor, and rare magnificence. A single poem can contain "bottles and cans," Mount Everest, an upset stomach, Texas rain, a hawk, the evil queen, a "twice- mended lid," and Ralph; as if to say, anything's possible.

Try Never

Anthony Madrid continues to astonish and amuse with his fourth book of poems, Whatever's Forbidden the Wise In Anthony Madrid's fourth book, Whatever's Forbidden the Wise, the poet appraises this world "full of ancient things whose shapes and colors have changed," as his singular, unforgettable and voice resonates in ghazals, rubai, ditties, and "gnomic stanzas." A polymath and iconoclast, Madrid knows the names of the stars and turns their light into astonishing music. Poetry.
