History & Criticism

Poetry. ZOOP collects 40 of Szamotowitz's innovative prose-poems that range in subject from the pastoral scenes of Charity to the urban landscape of Styrofoam and Duct Tape Glider Kill. Prominent in the New York poetry scene, Szamatowicz's work has appeared in Skanky Possum, The Germ, The Hartford Advocate, Canada Review, as well as in many other publications. . "In paragraphs that unspool calmly and intently, Szamatowicz's regular, matter-of-fact prose plays straight man (or woman) to the speaker's cognitive associations...." Publishers Weekly. This striking book comes from Owl Press, known for publishing Edmund Berrigan's popular DISARMING MATTER (also available from SPD).

Poetry

<p>The 3:15 EXPERIMENT comprises the results of an experiment in which the four authors rose at 3:15 A.M. every day in the month of August from the years 1993-2000 and wrote. Some poems, some prose, some dream-drenched euphoric scrawl, some devine journaling recording the weird magic of that middle hour. "In 1994...I was awake at 3:15 almost every night all August. This writing-by-alarm is one out of a large -- infinite? -- bag of tricks. The self outside the self. To get ourselves to pay attention differently, unawares" -- Jen Hofer. "The book is full of marvelous 'good times' as well -- with language, zones, emotions &amp; political conventions... -- the stuff &amp; dross &amp; excitement of existing experimentally in the minds of four exceptional writers" -- Anne Waldman.</p>

Evidence of the Paranormal

DeSilver, Albert Flynn

<p>Poetry. Drama. Fiction. This book contains rare unpublished and out of print poems, a play, and an unfinished 'novel', all written in collaboration in the early 1960's. HYMNS comprises the full run of poetry and prose the two poets wrote in collaboration between 1960 and 1964. Two-thirds of these have never before appeared in book form. Berkson's and O'Hara's "hymns," inspired by the crooked steeple of the Church of St. Bridget on New York's Lower East Side, address themes of love, protestation, travel and more. (The final two are songs in praise of the New York School master painters, Willem de Kooning and Philip Guston.) The other writings include further collaborative poems; a lengthy epistolary fiction involving two long-lost brothers, Angelicus and Fidelio Fobb; Marcia, an Unfinished Novel (with Patsy Southgate), a play written on a jetliner over the Atlantic, and dizzying notes on the New York City Ballet and the French 'cubist' poet Pierre Reverdy.</p>
