Poetry. Art. In 1992, Basil King began his long documentary prose/poem/media work, Mirage. Mirage paintings, watercolors, and pastels were exhibited for the first time at Gotham Book Mart in 1994, where King also read from his texts. THE COMPLETE MINIATURES is the next installment in King's Mirage. "This intimate yet ranging reflection mirrors its author in myriad and remarkable ways. Drawings compliment memories and bring us into a unique space where what is known can meld with what one is. Pure Magic!"-Robert Creeley.

<p>Poems. Art. These poetic devotions and intentions, accompanied by whimsical drawings whose apparent simplicity is belied by shadings of a vastly complex subtext, pay homage to various painters: Pollack, Seurat, Vermeer, Picasso, Gorky, Morandi, Degas, Manet, Monet, Van Gogh, Rothko, de Kooning, Guston, O'Keefe, Gaugin, among others. Ranging from intensely serious to intensely playful, the texts create an artistic lineate that allows Basil King to engage in his own explorations using these well-known imagemakers as a ground from which to create new work.</p>

<p>Poetry. Ted is a composer -- he always has been. Perhaps only a Bunting can fully appreciate how words compose words and discover beyond meaning harmonies, as here. Here is the best poetic company. Listen to your own tongue and share -- Cid Corman. These poems present themselves, like a gift. They will pick you up and take you somewhere, so be careful if you think you know it all. Art ever did this. The conservator knows -- Martha King. Melopoeia, meet your maker! SEQUENTIAE is vintage Enslin: acute and resonant, an experience of the song and from the song -- Mark Nowak. Among Theodore Enslin's many books are CONVERSATION (Poetry New York) and THEN, AND NOW: SELECTED POETRY just out from the National Poetry Foundation. SEQUENTIAE includes drawings by Basil King.</p>

Sequentiae

Enslin, Theodore

Poetry. Chosen and translated by Paul Blackburn. Drawings by Basil KingLatino/Latina Studies. "No modern Spanish Poet has so seduced the English-speaking world as Federico Garcia Lorca...At once daring and traditional, stark and explosive, his poetry seems to hold vast worlds of violence and sexuality in momentary, volatile equilibrium...Blackburn's translations catch this essential quality...full of the keen sense of words' sound and touch that characterized his own poetry. Blackburn...was one of the art's (translation) recent masters. In mingling his voice with Lorca's, he (Blackburn) has done us all a service" - David H. Rosenthal.

Here is the best poetic company. Listen to your tongue and share"-Cid Corman.

I've Gazed So Much

Cavafy, C.P.

Poetry. Art. With illustrations by Liz Maxwell. John Taggart, poet and theorist, was born in 1942 and lives in Pennsylvania. He was educated at Chicago and Syracuse Universities, and has published several books of poetry as well as translations and essays on contemporary poetry and poetics. He was founder editor of the influential magazine, Maps. "John Taggart's CROSSES [is] one of the few books of poetry produced in English/American over the past ten years that could properly be called stunning. John is one of two or three here who will have permanence. Both George Oppen and Robert Duncan hailed his appearance years ago--and for my money they were right. A fearsome intelligence wedded to a kind of craftsmanship that happens once or twice a generation"--Theodore Enslin.

Crosses: Poems 1992-1998

Taggart, John

Poetry. Gay and Lesbian Studies. Translated from the Greek by George Economou. "C.P. Cavafy lived simultaneously in two worlds and refused to choose between them in terms of language, ethnicity, society, culture, or history. His poetry continues to inspire new translations because the Alexandrian writer, who reveled in ambiguity and undecidability, was a master of double meaning. George Economou can capture this unique artistic and moral tension, since he too has retained many double identities: he is both Greek and American, he knows both Greek and English, he is a poet and painter, scholar and translator, teacher and editor, student of both ancient and modern literature. Drawing on his own dualities, Economou fashions a series of intricate translations that keep all the double binds of the Greek original alive. Readers will feel compelled to return to them often"--Vassilis Lambropoulos, C.P. Cavafy Professor of Modern Greek, University of Michigan. With illustrations by Sissy Chrysochoou, Margarita Gelada, Eleana Haviaras, and Aliki Moutousi.
