Key Titles Include:

Title Description Fig "FIG" is the second instalment of the ongoing series "Goan Atom". It is a collection of 12 poetic pieces written between 1996 and 2004. By They have each previously been produced as off-page collaborations Caroline or text-installations. This range of artistic and poetic contexts and the Bergvall compositional processes that result from these is a crucial aspect of the goanatom poetics represented in "FIG". Each piece has been carefully rethought and twelve short prefatory notes have been written and developed especially for the book. They function as an additional textual layer, a poetic dimension in their own right. The pieces in "FIG" explore the connections between the materialities of written or inscriptive language and the materialities of human physicality. Language inscribed in the speaking, listening, writing body. This includes the pursuit of physical and sexual imaginaries, bilingual and translative poetics, time-led and context-specific writings, textual and spoken patterns of misrecognition. It is one of the premises of "FIG" that the poetic texts are written with an accent and with body.; The book's drawings and photographic material add to the traffic between verbal and visual textualities. Unsung Sculpture is a part of the space around it.' This statement by (Selct Katarzyna Kobro reflects Mengham's sense of how he wants the ed poetic text to relate to the languages that surround it. The poems in Poem this book reflect his ongoing preoccupation with Eastern Europe, the s) visual arts, ideas of prehistory and the process of composition itself.

Rod Mengham Rooms "Rooms" is a collection of new and selected poems by Diane Glancy. The rooms are spaces from previous collections - spaces influenced Diane by memory and the pull of the past on the present. This collection of Glancy poems walks a line between balance and imbalance and struggles for an alignment of fragmented experiences. It tries to put into perspective the disparities of survival. It seeks to reconcile history and a broken heritage that results from a collision of cultures. These poems, written from 1986-2004, include work from earlier collections, "The Relief Of America", "The Shadow's Horse", "Stones For A Pillow", "(Ado)Ration", "Boom Town", "Lone Dog's Winter Count", "Iron Woman", "One Age In A Dream", "Offering", and a chapbook, "Coyote's Quodlibet". The title is taken from an idea, The Ames Room, which was a demonstration created by Dartmouth Professor Adelbert Ames in the 1940's to show that we can look into an off- sided room, yet it will appear in proportion because the way we think something should be shapes our perception of it.; If the mind is a trickster shaping the misshapen into a familiar form and setting upright what has been turned on its side, what does a lopsided perception do? Does it skew what is not skewed? What if history, in this case, Native American history, has been turned on its side? How does the off-sided perception of the vanquished warp normal experience? "Rooms" is a calling together of the tribes. These poems are a campground of voices in council. Drafts This book brings "Drafts", the long poem by Rachel Blau DuPlessis, to its mid-point. A polyphonic work, both monumental and Rachel provisional, Drafts asks how to represent our sense of direness and Blau ethical crises, the awe, astonishment, skepticism and pleasure: that Duplessis all this is. This installment of nineteen "Drafts" is dedicated to its own poetic and political communities, offering these dedications as pledges to transformation out of social rage and out of grief-inflected hope. The book also contains a witty "summary" of all fifty-seven "Drafts" to date. This book makes clear the ways DuPlessis' long poem is a midrashic response to the long poems of modernism and the tolls of modernity. She is a poet of polysemy, of negativity, of critique. Of "Drafts", Walter Kaladjian remarked, "DuPlessis' avant- garde procedures are imbricated in an ethicopolitical mode of poetic testimony." Nathaniel Mackey said that "Drafts" "affirm and negate the toll history takes on letter and spirit, affirming and negating and navigating a way between. Beautiful This book was shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Award. It is unfinished wondrous book of parables, meditative cantos, mysterious songs, lyrical and exploratory poems mapping interstices between M.T.C experience, emotion, and realization casts Zen-like nets - those of a Cronin boldly honest, brilliant Western heart-mind - and from there opens onto the palpable world that shapes and impels our lives.
