Jennifer Scappettone's new book is out

From Dame Quickly can be ordered from SPD.

Although I wish SPD had a surface mail option for Europe. $18 for a $15 book is too much. Hmmm... maybe I can set up some kind of underground book-trafficking network with visiting poets... or graft wings onto bindings and implant a migratory instinct...

... or stop whingeing and just pay the Fedex bill. Yes, good plan, Helen.

Twelve Stills from Neosuprematist Webtexts (2008-09, in progress)






Statement: Atropostic

The premise of these neosuprematist webtexts arose by accident: coastal, fortuitous plunge into structure.
From the page’s placidity to the strife of other dimensions: the verse accumulates gravity, suffers remoteness, recession.
The poetic line endures its mereness in that all-context which is the natural and its
contradiction.
The poetic line endures its obsolescence.
Abjectly concrete. Captive of camera alone.
Non-aeolian winds vie with pyrolidin and page to force suppler architectonics, present in time as well as space:
Reader, persist please every which way & repeatedly;
a hoard of these awaits animation, permutations.

Jennifer's new book, From Dame Quickly, is forthcoming from Litmus Press.
