Adrian Matejka's (Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry for The Big Smoke) new book Standing On the Verge \u0026amp; Maggot Brain is a chorus of poems and visual art that is psychedelic and bright, full of quarter notes disguised as words. The poems bend like a solo bends the big ideas of Funkadelic's glitter and unrepentant funk. The colletion also bends the design of books themselves. Standing On the Verge \u0026amp; Maggot Brain is more accurately described as a double-chapbook, featuring two front covers and no back cover. Essentially, it is a two-in-one book. For the Standing On the Verge section of the two chaps, sculptor and artist Kevin Neireiter translates music into stained glass graffiti in honor of the landmark record. For Maggot Brain, Nicholas Galanin's (also front man of the Sub Pop band Ya Tseen) art creates musical compositions from monochromatics in response to the quintessential album. Matejka's collection of poems is synesthesia for the ear and alchemy for the eyes and heart. Standing On the Verge \u0026amp; Maggot Brain is both a tribute to the iconic band Funkadelic and deep introspection of the contrasts in poet Matejka's celebrant hips and maggot brain. Just as the album Standing on the Verge of Getting It On is a celebration of energy and action, Maggot Brain is a place of deep sorrow. Matejka explores both the light and dark within the original visual art by Kevin Neireiter and Nicholas Galanin, reflecting the poet's radiances and shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 5.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 31, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58918847021400,"sku":"9781734842296","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/1220\/7960\/files\/CqB7XLUvYE9781734842296.webp?v=1792842060"},{"product_id":"passing-through-the-later-poems-new-and-selected-paperback","title":"Passing Through: The Later Poems, New and Selected - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eStanley Kunitz\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \"Touch Me,\" the last poem in the collection, Kunitz propounds a question, \"What makes the engine go?\" and gives us his answer: \"Desire, desire, desire.\" These poems fairly hum with the energy, the excitement, the ardor, that make Kunitz one of our most enduring and highly honored poets.

The collection begins with the artist, Van Gogh, during his rest cure at an asylum following a general emotional and physical collapse. He begins to paint landscapes, gardens, peaceful scenes, gradually internalizing what he sees. Upon his release, his vision incorporates a whole new way of seeing: slightly altered landscapes and nightscapes, everything off-center, self-portraits showing a more fraught, perhaps demented, personality.

Operated by Ken and Ann Mikolowski out of their home, the Alternative Press published original countercultural work by nationally renowned and influential poets and artists, including Alice Notley and John Sinclair. Kosick's research reanimates the Alternative Press's unconventional publications with more than one hundred full-color images, while illuminating the national impact their avant-garde interventions had at the intersection of politics, art, and life in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Kosick is associate professor of comparative poetry and poetics at the University of Bristol, where she also codirects the Bristol Poetry Institute.

To follow the path of his criticism down alleyways and boulevards is to be immersed in the sights, sounds, and feel of literature and art. I've long been in awe of the breadth of his interests and the depth of his empathetic imagination, and this collection, a series of amiable detours ranging from road atlases to asemic writing to the art of list making, doesn't disappoint. His language, too, is a marvel-tactile, dazzling, and ripe, like fruit at the peak of summer. -Nicole Rudick, \u003cem\u003eWhat Is Now Known Was Once \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnly Imagined: An (Auto)biography of Niki de Saint Phalle \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece in this book distills intently focused fascination, whether with maps, magic, cemeteries, aerial surveillance, collages of found objects, or how cities and landscapes change over time. Wherever he directs his gaze Albert Mobilio teases out unexpected perspectives, by turns playful or macabre or ironic or sublime. Tiny objects or odd hobbies may be tokens of cataclysm or prescient intuition. Glimpses discerned in a snapshot or a stretch of desert engender metaphors that blossom into narratives. A word-centered artwork by Ed Ruscha evokes \"a bathroom graffito on a doomed U-boat,\" a falcon traces \"the inseam of the void.\" Among the places on a West Virginia road map Mobilio finds \"incantatory music\" and in the argot of Mafia wiretaps \"a poetry of the oblique.\" In the lives and works of artists (Harry Smith, Weegee, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, Vivian Maier, and many others) he is alert to endlessly suggestive processes, and from what might seem random detritus (lists, manuals, hoarded mementos) he elicits hidden histories whose implications spread out in all directions. \u003cem\u003eReadings Against Type \u003c\/em\u003eis like a steamer trunk overflowing with the evidence of many lives and many places: at once memoir and urban chronicle and meditation on art, and, not least, acknowledgment of how mysteriously all its elements interconnect. -Geoffrey O'Brien, \u003cem\u003eArabian Nights of 1934 \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eReadings Against Type \u003c\/em\u003eAlbert Mobilio maps cultural curiosities like few others. Whether making sense of Gertrude Stein's sentences, reading travel guides and how-to books as literature, musing on a museum devoted to one man, or glossing photographs of men's footwear on city sidewalks, his sharp prose illuminates cultural artifacts that favor odd angles of approach.
