First published in 1990, this edition is a hand sewn trade paperback. Originally a first printing, several hundred copies were mistakenly bound in the wrong order. Recently discovered in a box in Chax Press's former studio, these copies have been painstakenly unbound,correctly paginated, and hand-sewn with Irish linen thread, making an edition which is an improvement on the original paperback edition, at the same price.

Poetry. Ron Silliman's DEMO TO INK includes six parts of a larger work entitled The Alphabet that includes five other books. An amalgam of contradictory, perfunctory scenes and images from the urban landscape, DEMO TO INK is the result of using systematic formulas and procedures for creating poetry. Silliman's other books include Tjanting, The New Sentence, In the American Tree, and Xing.

Prospect of Release

Mandel, Tom

This is the demarcation of perceived  line falling short of continuation. Cut staple / recruit monologue. Repeat so blinking doubles. There are no apologies left to borrow or bide in a pinch. (Perhaps de Beauvoir did it best twice.) Products of different countries a vector into bodies of numerous nationalities. These effects. Sex is still on the modified agenda akimbo time zones survive difficult release realize malapert options. There's no funding for your thinking. How a reject comes - to be selected. Dowse name brands and reinvent the bow tie. Bow wow visits the month before. The word's streteched or condensed in addition to interpretation so meaning's local levels become individually acute while generally accounting for ''misunderstood''. If you show a bit of leg the ledger shifts regardless of whose lap supports it.

The Tongue Moves Talk

Mac Cormack, Karen

Poetry. "Sloan's passion for words - their lipstick traces and lingering inflections (as grammar would have it) - makes for a poetry of extraordinary pleasure and difficulty. The mind and ear are redirected from inherited sequence to intentional mutation. As consummate artificer, Sloan's skill and gift demand an equally rigorous reading. Her first book assumes the presence of a mature collection and takes American poetry into its next argument.

Poetry. Asian American Studies. THE BOUNTY, by the Korean American Kim, has become an acknowledged classic of Asian American literature of the past decade. More than that, it is one of the best books of poetry of the 1990s, now in a new edition to bring it into the next millenium."The tesserae Myung Mi Kim so remarkably fashions here come gradually to form an articulate and coherent pattern, but a pattern in constant process of renewal and reorganization."—Michael Palmer

Poetry. Phillip Foss's CHROMATIC DEFACEMENT is a new fin de siecle theater of cruelty with the roles played by perfumes, echoes and elisions. Coquettish effluvia. Susan Howe meets Bataille and they have this child called Fetter of Nuance or, in fact, CHROMATIC DISPLACEMENT. I think I'm in love with it. - Rae Armantrout. There is the entrance of submission. The opening / is very low, or very shallow, as if its fabricator desired removal / of one's head in entering, not concerning stature / but sensation and dialectics. (The Theater of Perfumes). Following the steps of Phillip Foss, one of Lully's latter-day and more intrepid progeny surely, you will re-make desire. Re-make it and re-make it. Re-make it and make it last. At last. - John Taggart.
