"There is a knot at the center of this language working its way free of tense and the tension of syntax as it pushes against the presence of the world….The tokens offered here, the “prizes inside,” are the gifts of instruction that Norma Cole has fought so tenaciously to provide us with."
—Ammiel Alcalay, author of A Little History

“Conoley's sixth collection--which takes its title from a plot-generating system devised in the 1930s by silent screenwriter Wycliffe A. Hill--is a book of many sources (ancient and contemporary, cerebral and tabloid) that all point toward cinema….At its best, the book reads like an exceptional film noir projected onto the mind's eye…Experimental poetry fans and cinephiles will find much that haunts and stimulates.”
--Publishers Weekly, August 17, 2009

“Very old methods and very new American speech collide, strike sparks, and end up burning brightly indeed in this shockingly memorable book-length sequence.”

“Harm is a book of awarenesses and sensations; it articulates the micro-wisdoms of that peculiarly timeless condition that is everyday life, the site of lyric embodiment and our extraordinary mortality.”
—Lyn Hejinian

“Poetry of the outskirts—‘the old world is still out there, too/where the roads are intraworking.’ By way of open rifts and dazzling disintegrations, Greenfield traces the cracks and fissures of ordinary life in its reach to otherness. The work here is fierce, tender, and precise.”
—Susan Howe

Loom
Winner of the Omnidawn Open Poetry Book Prize
88 pages, (6” x 9” Paper)
ISBN: 978-1-890650-78-0

Loom seems at times a Book of Hours both contemporary and medieval, illuminated everywhere with intellect, grace, and a persuasive belief in beauty; at other times, something woven of many histories – private, natural, literary – a fabric that at once conceals and discloses. .”
--Carl Phillips, judge of the Omnidawn Open Book Poetry Prize

“Here is the marvel of putting learning into play,… ‘characters’ emerge out of the text, first as names, than as activities, then like events with personal qualities.” — Carla Harryman

$15.95

“Hoover’s brilliant stanzas and one-liners are moving constellations presenting raw materials of the world in constantly shifting and illuminating relations.”

“His poems are dignified by deftness and quietude, but they’re also great feats of enlargement: they act as conduits, allowing the past and the present to replenish each other. Large also are the pleasures they give their readers.”
--Peter Campion, Poetry Magazine, March 2006

“Avant gardist Kim's fifth book is a diligent inquiry into the relationship between language and power.”

“It started with a single image, which overflowed into a serial poem, which overflowed into a philosophic commentary, which overflowed into another language…. Cynthia Hogue and Sylvain Gallais have masterfully translated this complex articulation…”
…--- Cole Swensen, author of Gravesend

"History is here, in uneasy tangents; landscape is here, lonely in its names; luminous images are here but they are not pictures; music is here in a spare, phrasal pacing. "

—Makoto Ooka (Ooka’s poetry column appeared daily for 20 years on the first page of Asahi Shimbun, Japan’s leading National newspaper

from unincorporated territory [saina] continues Craig Santos Perez’s epic investigation of Chamorro culture, language, and identity. It is by turns ferocious and elegiac, historical and lyrical; it is a book of generations, of sedimentary language, of the ability and power to say “us,” of how a human family might actually be claimed…

"the sina qua non of time is nested in the figure of the speaker…. This is a wondrous, unnerving book."
–C.D. Wright, author of One With Others, selected this book for our Omnidawn Prize

“Using a wide range of voices and various forms, from litany to quotation to dialogue to nursery rhyme, Rabinowitz tries to occupy the present as a kind of prayer that could disengage the hurtling fall of time and disarm its inevitable news."
--Cole Swensen

“These poems are beautiful, disquieting, deeply felt, and ultimately tragic—since Ramke, and all his stand-in speakers, keep reaching obsessively for knowledge about something they know is ultimately unfathomable.”
--Mary Jo Bang

“Ramke has journeyed toward wholly original aesthetic ground on which his own often fragmentary words share the page, even the line, with passages from obscure texts, definitions, even mathematics… And the new poems here are among Ramke's best.”
--Publishers Weekly, August 17, 2009

“[I]n this mature work, Ramke remains… a stylist very much of his own invention. And amid dizzying reference, brilliant points of emotional clarity and depth shine through.”

“a magnificent collage in which poet speaks to poet, vision looks upon vision, sound resonates against sound. Half the book is Invisible Green, a set of nine brief essays originally published as a column in American Poetry Review. The other half consists of an assortment of readings and homages. . . . And yet the whole is of a piece, a remarkably consistent ars poetica, a gospel intended to renew our faith in poetry and remind us of why we read and write poems.”
--Norman Finkelstein, Chicago Review, Spring 2006

“Revell has made these familiar poems no longer familiar, but strange and raw—what a pleasure to be able to discover them all over again!”

“By chance—that is to say, by the happenstance that changes lives irrevocably—are these poems wrought. (What legitimizes happenstance remains in the background.) With Barn Burned, Then Michelle Taransky becomes the worthy winner of Omnidawn’s initial publication of emerging talent.”

It is a love poem to California. And it is an elegy to an unnamed woman dead on the stoop, to Teare's father, to the poet Reginald Shepherd. It is also one of the most beautiful and moving books that I've read. Full of seriousness. Full of tradition. And full of care.
