Transcendental Factory: For Mina Loy
Poet Karla Kelsey’s lyric-documentary rendezvous with iconoclastic writer and visual artist Mina Loy (1882–1966) invents a new form for engaging a life.
“… a novel that is also a poem, a dictionary, a historical compendium, an elegant archival encounter.” —Danielle Dutton
Documentary Poetry
The essays of Austrian documentary poet and photographer Heimrad Bäcker (1925–2003), collected here along with a selection of his photographs and two of his documentary poems, explore the poetic, philosophical, and political stakes of representing the Holocaust, and constitute a crucial source for considering the critical potential of contemporary literature.
Creve Coeur
Robert Fitterman’s sixteenth and most ambitious book transposes William Carlos Williams’s postwar long poem Paterson onto the segregated suburbs of late twentieth-century St. Louis to track the collapse of the American urban landscape.
“William Carlos Williams would have loved it." —Sianne Ngai
