TWILIGHT CANTOS by Iván Argüelles

Iván Argüelles

TWILIGHT CANTOS

Poetry, 149 pp., $14 US

ISBN 9781938521553

From the beautiful, askew opening line of this book, “as much are the years gone now as snow,” to the profound concluding speculations—“Is the world made in the shape of language?”; “A lifelong search for sound in meaning”— 'Twilight Cantos' reaches into a darkness few books, few films, few songs, few symphonies, few paintings—few artists—even recognize. Argüelles has always been a powerhouse, but there is a lifetime singing in every line of this book. —Jack Foley

TAXONOMIC DRIFT by MARK YOUNG

I thought I had died & ascended to the heathens when I read this book. So excited to discover that adherents to — practitioners of, yet — the poésie maudit that I espoused are still active, even if they are living in some far-flung geography like Patagonia or North Queensland or Novaya Zemlya, & even if the technology they embrace & write about has moved past sewing machines & umbrellas & into realms that I, in my wildest moments, could not have imagined. I am in love! — Isadore Ducasse, author of Les Chants de Maldoror. MARK YOUNG is a poet, visual poet, and the Editor of OTOLITHS.

CONTAINERS PROJECTING MULTITUDES: Expositions on The Poetry of John M. Bennett by Jim Leftwich

Jim Leftwich

CONTAINERS PROJECTING MULTITUDES:

Expositions on Th Poetry of John M. Bennett

Jim Leftwich takes on the enigmatic, complex poetry of John M. Bennett in a series of explorations of Bennett's books. Leftwich, a poet, is an authority on Bennett's ways of writing. His expositions include essay-like discussions, close readings of individual poems and lines, and glosses, hacks, and re-writings of Bennett's texts. The re-writings create new poems and are ways in which Leftwich inhabits and/or illuminates the originals. At each chapter's end, there is an email exchange between the two, discussing or clarifying aspects of the preceding exposition. The book is a fascinating journey toward the heart of a unique poet, whose work is generally impossible to approach using standard critical methodologies. This is a great opportunity to examine not only the mysteries of John M. Bennett's poetry under the sharp magnification of the mind of Jim Leftwich, but a way to engage with Leftwich's remarkable work as a poet and thinker about poetry.
