The Walls Come True (Structure of Destruction)

This new book of previously uncollected poetry (1984-1995) demonstrates Baraka's gift for the music of thought, and reveals his continued mastery of tone and performance. Engaging in the primary issues of African-American music and contemporary politics, and imbuing his homages to such grand figures of America as Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Sarah Vaughn, Albert Ayler, and John Coltrane with a passion that has not abated over the years, Baraka glories in his own virtuosity.

Funk Lore: New Poems (1984-1995)

Poetry. This much anticipated first full-length edition of Albon's work brings together two long pieces: the title poem, 88 eight-line lyrics, is a workaday fleshing out of time spent under inner and outer American weathers, and Cosmophagy marks a daring incursion into the heart of the sentence. For a reader first encountering this writing, Albon's purposeful and mature technique will make motion/ & emotional/ coffers change. Albon's poetry has appeared in many journals and anthologies, including Rhizome, The Gertrude Stein Awards in Innovative Poetry, O Anthology, Ribot, and Hambone. He lives in San Francisco.

Albon, George

A collection of Paul Vangelisti's longer poems spanning the last two decades, whose urgent motive is a formal, personal and ideological meditation on the Roman alphabet, that seemingly most casual and chaotic of all necessities. Vangelisti's Alphabets begins with "Los Alephs" (1986) and "Alephs Again" (1988), both using 26 alphabetically organized stanzas; and moves to an aaedarium or alphabetical history, "A Life" (1991), as well as the bestiary and biography of friends and literary influences, "The Simple Life" (1993) The book concludes with the double-alphabet (52 part) musical sequence, "Rhum" (1995), a meditation on number and evil
