berrigan some notes

Some Notes on My Programming - $295

7 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Poetry. SOME NOTES ON MY PROGRAMMING finds Anselm Berrigan, Artistic Director of the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church, once more in funny, irritable, tip-top form. Surveying the Bush-era cultural landscape and not liking what it sees, the poetry herein confronts that reality in terms disgusted (“The group is/an asshole./Self-censorship/is the American avant-garde”) and terrifying (“Dreamt I was chopping off fingers/of mine with audience. Not cool”), encompassing odd disclosure (“I don’t want my brother to get a job ever”) and […]

The Peripatetic Coffin and Other Stories - $285

7 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

The stories in The Peripatetic Coffin and Other Stories, a collection from Ethan Rutherford, map the surprising ways in which the world we think we know can unexpectedly reveal its darker contours. In stories that are alternately funny, persuasive, and compelling, unforgettable characters are confronted with, and battle against, the limitations of their lives. Rutherford’s work has been selected by Alice Sebold for inclusion in the volume of The Best American Short Stories that she edited, and also published in Ploughshares, One Story,and American Short […]

Collected Poems and Other Verse (Oxford World's Classics)

Collected Poems and Other Verse - $295

26 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Stéphane Mallarmé was the most radically innovative of nineteenth-century poets, and a key figure in Modernism. His writings, with their richly sensuous texture and air of slyly intangible mystery, perplexed or outraged many early readers; yet no writer has more profoundly influenced the course of modern poetry – in English as well as in French. This is the fullest collection of Mallarmé’s poetry ever published in English, and the only edition in any language that presents his Poésies in the last arrangement […]

Ugly Feelings

Ugly Feelings - $445

25 April, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Envy, irritation, paranoia–in contrast to powerful and dynamic negative emotions like anger, these non-cathartic states of feeling are associated with situations in which action is blocked or suspended. In her examination of the cultural forms to which these affects give rise, Sianne Ngai suggests that these minor and more politically ambiguous feelings become all the more suited for diagnosing the character of late modernity. Along with her inquiry into the aesthetics of unprestigious negative affects such as irritation, envy, and […]

The President in Her Towers

The President in Her Towers - $295

21 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

THE PRESIDENT IN HER TOWERS is a deft, daft satire of bureaucracy, paranoia, professional envy, megalomania, the madness of specialization and the absence of transparency as they infect the university and, in general, our institutionalized existence. But Tom Whalen’s exuberant, intelligent, and wryly allusive fiction is also an example—rare in our deadly serious literature—of the marvelous: a headlong adventure in storytelling, reminding us that writing needs no other justification than the esprit of a writer obedient to a high manic […]

Harvest- A Novel

Harvest: A Novel - $325

19 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  On the morning after harvest, the inhabitants of a remote English village awaken looking forward to a hard-earned day of rest and feasting at their landowner’s table. But the sky is marred by two conspicuous columns of smoke, replacing pleasurable anticipation with alarm and suspicion. One smoke column is the result of an overnight fire that has damaged the master’s outbuildings. The second column rises from the wooded edge of the village, sent up by newcomers to announce their presence. In the minds of the […]

The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving- A Novel

The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving - $245

14 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Jonathan Evison, author of the bestseller West of Here, has crafted a story that is as grounded in the stark reality of its characters’ struggles as it is filled with the kind of hopeful joy that enables them to make it from one day to the next. A novel of the heart, a novel of unlikely heroes in a grand American landscape, it is, most of all, a profound look into what it takes to truly care for one […]

Eve Escapes – $345

13 February, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  “I get up every day with one day more,” says Eve, the writer’s 97-year-old mother. She is escaping into the New Life and the writer must race to catch up. As things slip away and fall into oblivion, as her mother’s world and thus her own relentlessly shrinks, the writer is stunned to see for the first time the vestiges of a prison scene in her beloved Tower of Montaigne, which she has been visiting for fifty years. It […]

Uncreative Writing- Managing Language in the Digital Age

Uncreative Writing: Managing Language in the Digital Age – $445

21 April, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Can techniques traditionally thought to be outside the scope of literature, including word processing, databasing, identity ciphering, and intensive programming, inspire the reinvention of writing? The Internet and the digital environment present writers with new challenges and opportunities to reconceive creativity, authorship, and their relationship to language. Confronted with an unprecedented amount of texts and language, writers have the opportunity to move beyond the creation of new texts and manage, parse, appropriate, and reconstruct those that already exist. In addition […]
