Elmslie's work navigates between the comic and the serious, between the personal and the po...

As If It Is At All" compiles Simon Cutts's "transferable" (i.e. realizable in various media, whether print, sculpture, artist's book, etc.) poems of the past decade, in the fashion of such previous books as "Seepages" (The Jargon Society, 1989), and "A Smell of Printing" (Granary Books, 2000). Frequently made in the Concrete idiom, or similar, and with an appetite for concision, clarity and gentle wit, Cutts's writings advocate and palpably sa...

Strongly identified with New York since the 1960s, when he co-founded "Angel Hair" magazine with Anne Waldman, Warsh makes poems from the city's linguistic fabric, interwoven with a bemused real-time interiority. The 35 poems of this collection are pitted with reminiscences made approachable to the reader by their lack of self-absor...
