Set in New York's Lower East Side in the 1970's, when it was fast becoming the heart of the cultural underground, jazz club owner Pablo Waitz, takes us on a journey in search of his partner's killer. If The Tin Angel offers a murder to be solved, a world of crime to be explored, it also offers a search for other truths. For both in murder and in life, Pablo discovers that the past can be as dangerous as the present.The drug/jazz world of New York's East Village has seldom been rendered more honestly or graphically than in this fine first mystery.-Publishers Weekly

Poetry. "This evening I'm surprise/ anew/ by the way light/ alludes to// an exile// wherein/ a world of which/ I cannot speak/ is glorified"--"Pont L'Archiveche." Praise for Paul Pines' "Breath": ".the poems in `Breath' constitute a heartfelt, extended meditation on the transporting effects of everyday phenomena, how the psychic wormholes that allow instantaneous travel along out internal galaxies hide just under the next memory, the next sentence, and beneath them all, the All itself--unknowable, perhaps, but in Pines' poetry, nearly imaginable"--American Book Review.

Poetry. The movement of TAXIDANCING by Paul Pines from the jazz poems of his Tin Palace days in the first section "After Hours," to the ruminative "Bits and Pieces," is what Laurel Blossom has called " a taki ride from the madness of existential struggle to the 'darkness of a dream' in which 'each of us (is) a center.'"

Taxidancing

Poetry. For most of the 1970s, Paul Pines owned and operated the Tin Palace, a jazz club that hosted figures like Kurt Vonnegut and Martin Scorsese, and gave expression to the most notable jazz innovators of that time. The club was honored by the Tribeca Center for the Performing Arts as a "lost jazz shrine," and featured in Perfect Sound Forever as a venue that "... paved the way for today's ... live music scene." The poems in this book rise from the improvisational impulse that produced not only Eddie Jefferson and Charlie Mingus, but painters Joan Mitchell and Larry Rivers, and many of the poets drawn to the corner of 2nd Street and Bowery. Like the music he championed, Pines takes on the personal and universal themes of love and loss, the ironies of shifting alliances and archetypal forces, destiny, and the gods who honor those they destroy, in Parker-like solos that leap into the moment to create an arc that moves with undiminished urgency.

Last Call at the Tin Palace

Marsh Hawk Press

Poetry. "In these beautifully crafted poems Paul Pines takes us on a dizzying ride through mythological and religious thinkers, through science and philosophy. It is the quest of a man trying to hear the 'music / beneath the music' that he hopes, doubts, believes is there—DIVINE MADNESS. Pines asks what it means to face death and despair, what it means to doubt meaning while believing in meaning, what it has meant through the centuries."—Susan Sherman"With extraordinary daring and inspiration, Paul Pines has dedicated the art he has exquisitely crafted for a lifetime to the service of the divine madness that has always distinguished poetry from mere writing. In relentless pursuit of the unity we instinctively crave, he captures the universal analogy anew by 'connecting us to the consciousness of the gods in men' through dazzling poem after poem in this stunning book."—George Economou

Divine Madness

<p>Poetry. "'Remember this,' the poet tells himself as he races his 'little girl': 'what is a memory that anticipates itself / a recollection / that becomes / the ground on which the present plays.' And we follow, drawn along a 'golden thread' between father and daughter that is at once binding and unwinding, the reweave of every Charlotte's Web. Here are poems, in the language of the luminous moment, full of the timeless, of time's surprise, of all that enraptures, all that sorrows, all that joys."—Robert Murphy, author of From Behind the Blind</p>
