The Collected Poems of Philip Whalen (Wesleyan Poetry)

Philip Whalen

Wesleyan, 2007

The Beat Louvre
This remarkable collection gathers the full range of work from one of the 20th century's most unpretentious experimenters with the form and matter of poetry. Granted, 800 pages is a lot of anyone, even a poet as great and under-read as Whalen, and the gain in ...

Crowd and not evening or light

Leslie Scalapino

O Books, 1992

this book is whacked
if you like funky, messed up poetry, scalipino is the poet for you. probably one of the strangest and hardest to understand pieces of literature since Calvino's If on winter's night traveler, Scalipino has taken the abstract form of poetry and destroyed it.

Zither & Autobiography (Wesleyan Poetry Series)

Leslie Scalapino

Wesleyan, 2003

Don't pay attention to the reductive comments below
I'll admit this isn't my favorite work by Scalapino, as I prefer the sequences of "alien" perspective in 'Considering How Exaggerated Music Is,' or even the highly syncretic fragmentary prose of "dahlia's iris." But to assert this book is merely an excercise of a ...

It's go in horizontal: Selected Poems, 1974-2006 (New California Poetry)

Leslie Scalapino

University of California Press, 2008

The poetry of starting over again and again after that
Laying out a poem like it were a trail of bread crumbs a reader would to the bigger feast of The Point Being Made is not how writer Leslie Scalapino writes. As we find ourselves in a time when the popular idea of the poet and their work they compose seems slanted ...

The poet Leslie Scalapino and sculptor Petah Coyn each created a series of pieces in a process of exchange (conversation, faxes of text, photos of sculptures).

Defoe (EL-E-PHANT Books/Green Integer)

Leslie Scalapino

Green Integer, 2002

Pushing the envelope of literature ... (and intelligibility)
Whether or not you will "like" this book is really quite irrelevant ... if pick it up, make no sense of it, and put it down in disgust then you have missed the point. This "novel" is an experiment in what literature of the future might look like, how far we can get ...

Stone Marmalade
Kevin Killian, Leslie Scalapino

Singing Horse Press, 1996

a play "our concerted attempt to demolish society"

Sight
Lyn Hejinian, Leslie Scalapino

Edge Books (DC), 1999

Equal parts poetry and philosophy, Lyn Hejinian and Leslie Scalapino's collaboration is organized around the act and idea of seeing, written in the form of a literary dialog. "We were interested in a joint investigation into the workings of experience," writes Hejinian in the ...
