Product Description
"What follows occurs in a moment; a flash. It would detail a single tangibility if that did not entail all sensation." Stacy Doris charts the invisible, investigates the unborn, and describes everything not yet imagined. The tightly constructed verses of Knot weave imagery of decay and birth, science and culture: the warp and weft of cloth, digestion, wave particles, and a talking cat. Linguistic play abounds, and Doris presents us with a human double bind: to cling to the stability of the tangle or to participate in the circuits of entanglement.

Product Description
Poetry. A box of prosodic bonbons with exploding centers, offering the burst of intensity only artificial flavors can provide. Shimmering with assonances and anagrams, Stacy Doris's latest technical marvel comes stacked with Warnings to Daughters, battle scenes, a Pull-Out Bonus for girls, and truly excellent gore -- yielding remarkable new insights into our culture's fascination with the perpetual interplays between aggression and love. PARAMOUR works like the best of highly-engineered lipsticks: compact, sexy, and always a little scary, it encourages kissing but won't kiss off. I'm completely besotted! -- Sianne Ngai. ...

Product Description
Charting the Here of There contains a world of French-American exchange--a world governed by back-and-forth, double conciousness, and the magic inherent in translation and mistranslation, as well as the fantastic, poetic mystery and possibility that comes out of this articulation "across the pond." Writers Guy Bennett and Béatrice Mousli document the high points of this ongoing exchange as it has written itself on the pages of French and American literary magazines from 1850 letterpresses through present-day web-based publishing. The result is an impeccable overview of a production that testifies to the undeniable, often indefinable bond that joins French and American poetry. The authors survey the past 150 years of transatlantic contact, making the case that literary magazines have served as the telegraph/telephone/e-mail connection for a variety of literary dialogues, permitting, with relative speed and facility, the transmission of poetry and the poetic impulse. Charting the Here of There examines the ephemeral, periodic quality of the "little review" and how it has provided a unique forum for the sustained exchange of ideas that continue to inform the writing of French and American poets. This volume is a companion to the New York Public Library exhibition Reviews of Two Worlds: French-American Literary Periodicals, 1945-2000.

Product Description
Poetry. "In the way that Little Nemo never quite reaches his dreamland desires, the team players in Stacy Doris' 'cultural' gudie will never finish their game. They (and we) are suspended in the animated crackle of a postnuclear mythology. Classic texts--Mayan, Tibetan, New Jerseyan--are re-released as videogame. What is the job of an ancient lineage when future acncestries are bound to be bioengineered? Read this book for the stats and scores"--Jena Osman. Stacy Doris' books written in English include Knot, CONFERENCE, PARAMOUR and KILDARE. Written in French are Parliament and, semi-anonymously, LA vie de Chester Steven Wiener ecrite par sa femme, and Une annee a New York avec Chester. He has co-edited three collections of French poetry translated by American poets, and she is an assistant professor of Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. ... Read more

Product Description
Poetry. A comprehensively stunning book. Novel, play or poem, this landmark work jumps vividly to life with quirky invention, concentrated integrity and charming humor. Conference also teems with lyric passages: "Once there's an opening, there's absence. Departure. Open your mouth: you could walk through. The sky's an illusion and I'm perhaps legion. Yes or no. An opening is the nick of time, maybe, and clouds' job is to stave that off, in a huge collaboration with illusion. The sky is illusion: that's evident: agreed. This blinding is beauty's definition perhaps, and its reasons too. Still, things fall through. All fall through. Open your mouth then or if not." Stacy Doris has written her grand d'oeuvre, a magnificent wonder. Doris' recent PARAMOUR is also available from SPD. ... Read more
