Before suspending publication earlier this year, Andrei Codrescu's controversial and notorious anti-literary literary magazine Exquisite Corpse had become a primary site of engaged dialogue among the non, brain-dead everywhere. Founded in the 1980s on the belief that "American literature, poetry in particular, is sick from lack of public debate, " Codrescu's Corpse took its title from cadavre exquis, a form of collaboration once much practiced...

A collection by Gerard Malanga.

A first novel, this is a slight, mildly amusing satire of some obvious American foibles. Pitched in low key throughout and therefore casually effective this records the experiences of an unlikely 74 year old hero. Retired after fifty years in a Baltimore bank, Dick Twombly lives with his daughter Kate in New York. Goodnatured, easygoing, he is regarded, by Kate and her dull husband Ben, as near senile, the neighbors suspect him of being a dirt...

What is missing?" The question echoes throughout a sprawling collection. For this poet, our present age is marked by an absurd level of cruelty and violence, and poetry, if it is to address that at all, must rise to the same frenetic level. As he points out, "Look what men do to women. Why should art be less?" With such an intent in mind, one might anticipate a certain amount of moralizing. But Clayton Eshleman gives the collection a refreshin...

Michael Lally, who garnered a 1999 American Book Award for his sensational debut Black Sparrow volume, It's Not Nostalgia, deploys the same stunning honesty and self-analytical clarity in this powerful new collection of autobiographical poetry and prose. Retracing his wandering life-path from a rough Irish Catholic boyhood in a working-class suburb of Newark, N. J., through turbulent years of radical political engagement in Washington, D.C., s...

In this, the first full-length study of Clayton Eshleman's poetry, poet and scholar Paul Christensen descends into the torch-lit underworld, the cave of the soul, that Eshleman has been exploring in his work for more than three decades. "In the caves of Dordogne, " Christensen writes, "Eshleman discovered an underworld in actuality, a labyrinth in which Paleolithic humanity daubed and slashed their marks, their primordial psychic images." He a...

David Bromige grew up using the 16 Bus (London Transport) and the Bakerloo (London Underground). The first time he drove, it was a tractor with a load of peas on the rear forklift which caused the front wheels to life off the 'ground' when he drove it up a heap of silage. . . . When he left the Berkshire College of Agriculture (by cloud) he gave some fields in Sweden a thorough harrowing but never drove a car (and then without license) until S...

A collection by John Yau.

The title of this book comes from a hotel in the town of Les Eyzies in the French Dordogne, where the greatest concentration of Upper Paleolithic decorated shelters and caves are found. In 1868, in the Les Ayzies rock shelter called Abri de Cro-Magnon ("Cro-Magnon" meaning "big hole" in the local patois), the first skeletons of our direct ancestors were discovered. The shelter, now scoured of its holdings, can still be visited, it is part of t...

In the Zone is Laura Chester's own selection of poems, prose poems, and stories from 1970 to 1988, the first two decades of her career. Erotic, dreamlike, they constitute the personal history of a literary sensualist.

In these thirty-two stories, Dawson confirms and extends his mastery of a form he helped invent: the projectivist tale, in which a heightened sensitivity of attention registers in hair's-breadth detail not just physical realities but emotional events occurring in transformational, dreamlike, intuitional dimensions.

Larbi Layachi is the pseudonym chosen by Driss ben Hamed Charhadi, an illiterate storyteller working as a house servant in Tangier, Morocco. He dictated his novels,  the first to be composed in the Arabic dialect Moghrebi, to the American author and translator Paul Bowles. Charhadi's novels are at once straightforward and a rich, complex look into a culture rarely seen from his uniquely leveling perspective.
