<p>Poetry. Literary Criticism. Revised Edition. A new, perfect-bound edition of Andrew Joron's unprecedented work on the development of surrealist tendencies in American poetry between 1966-1999. This revised edition contains a new afterword of the last decade (1999-2009), bringing the book up to the contemporary moment. Beginning with the seminal poems of Philip Lamantia, Joron's essay runs through the major surrealist-influenced poetry in the U.S., including View, the New York School, Deep Image, Chicago Surrealists, Caliban, Kayak, Language Poetry, and much more. Among its highlights are considerations of such poets as Will Alexander, Jayne Cortez, Rikki Ducornet, Barbara Guest, Bob Kaufman, Sotere Torregian, and John Yau. THE SUN AT NIGHT is a definitive book for anyone interested in surrealism's impact on American poetry.</p>

<p>Poetry. LGBT Studies. Ronnie Burk, born in Sinton, Texas, April 1, 1955, was a visionary poet, a remarkable collagist, and a dedicated political activist. In his youth he studied Buddhism and literature at the Naropa Institute in Colorado. Mango Publications brought out his first book, En el jardín de los nopales, in 1979. He was active in the early Chicano movement of the 1970s and became a leading force in the controversial San Francisco branch of ACT UP, fighting for the rights of people diagnosed with HIV. Throughout his life Burk traveled widely and sought out like-minded friends and mentors, including Allen Ginsberg, Diane di Prima, Charles Henri Ford, and Philip Lamantia. He lived in the Southwest, Hawaii, and the two cities he was based in and loved most, San Francisco and New York. Ronnie Burk died in 2003 at the age of forty-seven. This is the first published volume of his writing.</p>
