For years Americans have been fascinated with the spontaneity of Zen, its exotic "masters," its paradoxical style. Kyogen Carlson's Zen in the American Grain shows us how the full integration of Zen practice with everyday American life is not only possible but inevitable.

Frank Samperi is that rare poet for whom an encompassing vision gives source and authority to an ongoing life work. Book after book unfolds, precise and on-center, as though it had been there, in careful plan, from the beginning. And yet it is open, with inspired oversteppings of known boundaries. Its difficulty, writes Cid Corman, is the difficulty of human being in the light of divinity.  Letargo is the last book of an extended volume called COMPREHENSOR viator, which also includes: The Kingdom, The Expulsion, Manifesto, Paradis, and Alfa ed O.

Two long & short pieces amply presented in 8 x 10 format.     Irby s verse is paratactic patchwork, a sewing of memory and hunger, calling forth secret recurrences and the secret of recurrence: occulted genealogies of the kinless garden flowers. Charles Stein

"Magnificent poetry; dark, severe, even harsh yet pulsating with life." -John Ashbery "A poem has to be heard before it is written. Paul Auster hears with his marvelous exactness the tone and modulations of that voice." -William Bronk

WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL SAY AND DO!! is a book about Power and Being, and the languages integral to both. The ostensible subject of Gins' formidable wit is _The Presidency_ and _The Man_ who gives it voice. But her virtuosic deconstruction of the devices of political rhetoric suggests a deeper purpose: one related to identity, language, and the value of meaning. Through such pieces as _THE History of THE_ and _How to Breathe_ Gins sculpts a multidimensional discourse and proposes a model strategy for free, effective speech. Utopia, the author implies, depends on a practical, uncoerced poetics.
