& : A Serial Poem
Out of Stock
The poems in & - A Serial Poem flit from thought to thought, from the philosophical to the mundane. They are autobiographical without being confessional, which turns into a cycle of loss and wonder.

'A'
Out of Stock
Long out of print, 'A' is the monumental life-poem by one of the most influential poets of the 20th century. Louis Zukofsky's (1904-1978) poem brims over with daily love, light, intellect and music, expressing a new potency of poetic language to comprehend and counter-form the maddening expansion of human neglect wrought by the 20th century's post-industrial, almost post-cultural, entropy.

0.174: The Complete Numbers Cycle
Our Price:
$12.45
Poetry. Gordon Massman's 0.174: THE COMPLETE NUMBERS CYCLE is an intricate exposure of the self. In this 20 years' culmination of work, he has dared to make the invisible visible. Perhaps on some level a perverse project, 0.174 lays open in depth-confession, in laboratory precision Massman's innermost fantasies, obsessions, urges, and fears which might, he hopes, provide at least a splintered reflection into one's own humanity. In either case—whether private or universal—here opens an inc…
