Poetry by Jennifer Bartlett. 56 pages.From PREFACE by Robert Grenier:Jennifer Bartlett 'makes the case'/ testifies to all the actual crap that being born with cerebral palsy entitles her to experience, and what life has been like/is like in contemporary America for her-given her lot-and then, in the second part of the book ('despite the facts') turns round and Celebrates Her Existence anyway: "AWAY WITH ALL THAT !" she cries, petulantly and determinatively (waves her arm), and devotes the 'other half of the book' to her ordinary interested investigations/explorations of what is going on & necessary in her daily life in Brooklyn/New York, as if she were a real/actual/'extraordinary' sentient being (like everybody in a body) determined to 'understand' and attempt to 'know the whole of it'/what each can know from the 'absolute perspective' of each one's own organism.

This haunting philosophical impasse and delight is the subject of Eric Selland's quietly beautiful book in which nearly every echoing sentence invites pondering. 'The poet screaming inside a fish.' 'A day which is merely a symptom.' Do you know where or who you are?" - NORMAN FISCHER Jane Joritz-Nakagawa writes this about Eric Selland OBJECT STATES: "Eric Selland finds 'invisible doors' in spaces we did not know existed but are pleased to meet. 'Language is a city' both east and west and at once familiar and unfamiliar in 'the absent presence of memory.' A finework both haunting and revelatory from one of the most skillful of contemporary poets." - JANE JORITZ-N

New poetry from Judith Roitman. 65 pages, Copyright 2018, 5.5 by 8.5. What are we looking at? That is the question that Judith Roitman'sfascinating Roswell poses to "eyewitnesses" and readers alike. Whetherthrough a narrative debris field of testimonies, articles, and reports, orfrom the point of view of an abject alien in the desert, that elusive "it"is "seen as wished for never more than never recognized." Ultimately,Roitman's compelling poems are about that which seems alien, other,only partially experienced, when the "positive malfunctioned." Inother words, this is a book about 2018 as much as 1947. You need toread it. Joseph Harrington, author of Of Some Sky
