LIBER X by John M. Bennett

Price: $15.00

John M. Bennett's LIBER X is a tour-de-force of poetry, mixing textual, visual, oral,typographic, and linguistic procedures to create a unique and inexhaustible work. A delight to the eye, the mind, the ear, and to one's imagination. At 226 pages, the poems vary in size from filling the page, to minimalist "haiku"; from English to Spanish (and occasional other languages) to everything in between. Bennett's signature lyrical surrealism and intelligence, his intense textual visuality and musicality, and his wild metaphorical and imagistic power are all on full display in this major new work in his canon.

CaraaraC & Título Invisible por John M. Bennett

Price: $9.50

De John M. Bennett, dice César Espinosa, “Hiperprolífico. Irremediable ‘hombre orquestra’; es decir, porque desde un principio destacó por su sapiencia y dominio del oficio.” [Escáner Cultural, ago. 2009] Con este tomo Bennett añade a su creciente obra en español con poemas y poemas visuales escritos en Guatemala y México. Es una poesía pasional, surrealista, íntima, social, y experimentalista en grado mayor: “el párvulo sindical y la lujuria que perdía mi contexto linderal el lago el lago se hunde en el sueño de la arena que era mi despertar cuando despierto ¡o mono! y sube el zopilote .liderazgo .plumífero” “en este cuarto una snombra hay e n este cuarto una silla de nagua hay eneste cuarto una bliblioteca en llamas hay un cnonejo ene ste cuarto una botella de norinas hay”

Poet, Sheila E. Murphy, wrote in a haibun for Peter Ganick (read full version at http://ex-ex-lit.blogspot.com): "The word for weeds that should be jewelry makes the yard a globe. The place to pay admission is the mind, where rock formations dry after an overdose of winter." That empty yard is a landfill for every full & generous poem in orientation. Look here to energize the mind's eye and elasticize the sky. "some sunshine every sleeper is convinced of essences a malleability- cull it ductile-seeking neutrality one step from togetherness-"

A DAY IN THE SUN by IVAN ARGÜELLES

 

A Day in the Sun

By Ivan Argüelles

The poems in A Day in the Sun say goodbye in a multitude of ways as the author’s identical twin, the New Age philosopher/artist José Argüelles, simultaneously vanishes into the universe and manifests as absolutely everything. Great loss has always been a perpetrator of great poetry. Tennyson’s In Memoriam sent that poet spinning into a questioning of all the tenets of Victorianism. Ivan Argüelles’ vision—“small tokens memento / mori the whirring faces”—goes even further because it opens the mind to its ultimate ground in chaos. José Argüelles redefined the Western calendar and pointed the way to a universal harmony, a “convergence.” In Ivan’s work, the universe is expanding and contracting at once, and speech, far from clarifying, constantly returns us to the fact of Enigma. The world is wild, exciting, in constant motion, but also horrifying, painful, an endless blow to our Narcissism. Both visions can nourish and sustain, but A Day in the Sun beautifully offers us the elegiac, shadow side. –Jack Foley
