Poetry

Poets Wear Prada

A collection of Simon Perchik's poems published between 1993-2016 in the international poetry journal Osiris.   This is the first book by the new publishing house boxofchalk.   “Simon Perchik’s extraordinary lyric talent is one of the best kept secrets in contemporary American poetry . . . surreal leaps orchestrate very personal material into archetypal configurations that approach transcendence.” —Edward Butscher, Confrontation  “Perchik is the most widely published unknown poet in America. . . . Often dense, often difficult, Perchik’s poems nevertheless lead to strange, unanticipated conclusions that usually reward the pursuit.” —Library Journal  “Let others jockey for position. Perchik’s poems are obdurant and honest and will reach those who need them most.” —James Tate

Poetry. " At Corinth, two temples stood next to one another: one to violence and one to necessity. Perchik's poems attend both temples, and are often terrifying compressions of the violence in simple daily acts. He makes dense and sometimes brutal poems with all the implicit tenderness of a full man" -Paul Blackburn.

And though your shadow still broods 
the camera is used to not knowing 
how near you are, following\naimless and alongside a crater 
that is neither the center 
nor the sky your eye remembers\nis already shut, measuring 
what comes out, what didn't 
—you don't have to group anything\nor anymore—there's no film 
it's missing, stars are missing 
today is missing, the ground is missing.\nBio: 
Simon Perchik, an attorney, was born 1923 in Paterson, NJ and educated at New York Univer-sity (BA English, LLB Law). His poems have appeared in various literary journals including Partisan Review, Poetry, The Nation, and The New Yorker. 
The 183 poems in this collection would never have been written except for the synaesthesis created from the 183 photographs from the book, Documentary Photography: Time Life Library of Photography to inspire and guide the author.-Simon Perchik
