Poetry. POEMS FROM PENNY LANE is an anthology chronicling the "So, You're A Poet," reading series in Boulder, Colorado which has hosted such poets as Allen Ginsberg, Diane DiPrima, Anne Waldman, Gregory Corso, Ted Joans, and thousands of other poets and writers. Anne Waldman: "This Anthology draws on those many moons of Monday nights and by the commitment and talent of younger writers and editors in the Naropa community. It is a ranging and engaging compilation. As such it represents a refreshing ongoing counter-poetics, outside the mainstreams of academia and lyrical 'mafia' officialdom."

Poetry. PAPER THIN is Rob Geisen's second book of poetry, and in it we are greeted again by his surrealistic sense of humor and tender emotional wordplay. Reed Bye has said of this book: "Rob Geisen's poems are written from a one-two sensibility of simple animal lusts and smart human double-takes . these are poems of an unusually immediate enjoyable accessibility."

Poetry. Stan Brakhage has said of this book: "I am deeply moved by 100 missed train stations. In fact, it's just one of my favorite books. I can hear applause, let's say, from Breton, Robert Desnos, and maybe even Ponge, who wrote 'The Making of the "pre"' and, for that matter, Duncan who wrote 'The Opening of the Field.' I have a sense of a certain spirit that's, these days, tabbed to history but Tom made it live again. It's a wonderful, wonderful book."

Collom, Jack

Poetry. Author of four novels, it was said of his first book of poetry, Paper Thin, " "Rob Geisen is a man of vivid contradictions - big, and delicate; vivid, and delicate; vulgar, and delicate. He plays these variations very well: a Sonny Rollins in Penny Lane. He's a surreal story-teller, a surreal (verbal) lover; at the end you've got a story and you've got love. And the "yr nipples" series alone (rated, respectively, G, PG, PG13, R, NC-17) is worth the price of emission. Get Paper Thin" -Jack Collom. "Rob Geisen's poems are written from a one-two sensibility of simple animal lusts and smart human double-takes. These get together in a mischievously understated discursive line to spawn elated images which then take over as the poems' weird, sensual dream-children. Because of their mastery of these features, these are poems of an unusually immediate enjoyable accessibility" -Reed Bye. "...with incredible subtlety & humor Geisen is likely to capture the hearts of thousands of teenagers yo

Poetry. SYZYGY is a selected poems of sorts, drawing from Vanessa Boff's three limited edition chapbooks, as well as featuring new poems. Anne Waldman says of the book: "Vanessa Boff is a poet deep in her mitochondria. A daughter of Baudelaire and Mina Loy, she walks the razor's edge between innocence and experience. Boff lights up Boulder's outlaw poetry zone. SYZYGY's sinewy language stalks as it purifies. Sleep with this book."

SOMETHING GORGEOUS is Junior Burke's debut novel. Set in the world of Fitzgerald's Gatsby, Something Gorgeous weaves historical figures with imaginative characters: "Faye Kingsley had blue eyes. She would say they were green, simply because green was her favorite color. It was as though by telling so obvious an untruth, she was daring people to deny her something. And many people, even boys and young men who got close enough to gaze at her face, came away saying that Faye Kingsley's eyes--at certain angles, in certain lights--were indeed green..."

Poetry. "Peter Lamborn Wilson - brilliant translator, poet, magpie scholar, anarchist, consummate cosmologist - offers up this raw bitter tender sequence for all humanity...We need his salient wisdom and bite more than ever under the dark gathering clouds of Empire & shackles that threaten all civil/sexual/human delights...Liberation now!"--Anne Waldman.

RED NOIR is a compilation of selected pieces intended for performance in the theatrical sense. "This long-overdue collection makes songs out of play and play from a series of laments, science fictions, cultural histories. RED NOIR turns phrases inside-out as it tunes itself to the nonsense of a world breaking our heart. As always, Anne Waldman is there, bold and brilliant, to sing it back to us"--Thalia Field.
