Wide-ranging in forms, densities, and aesthetics-and written from numerous collaborations, prompts, and influences-these poems express poetrys astonishing possibilities.

Review "Whether hes riffing like a jazz musician or clipping like a radio scanning through channels, Berrigan sets a surreal mood appropriate for increasingly apocalyptic and hallucinatory times . . . Berrigan is always up for an experiment, and his clever and deeply human work soothes as a balm against the irritations of daily life."Publishers WeeklyAs Berrigan puts the sense of magic spell back into the word charm, I sense somewhat of a post-punk ethos, as well as the Shakespearean Foole at his most linguistically complex.—Chris Stroffolino, Boog City Promotional Galleys availableCo-op availableNational print and online campaign with galleys and review copies to literary outlets such as Bookforum, BOMB, Hyperallergic, The Poetry Project Newsletter, and others.Readings in New York and the northeast, with possible dates across the country.

Description for Sales People Anselm Berrigans audience is deservedly broad and loyal: he is among the most respected poets writing in America today, both for his work and for the many hats he wears as editor, educator, and curator. These poems span a period of roughly eight years and help contextualize Berrigans numerous other books written during that period. The diversity of the work, both in style and in the topics and objects the poems encounter, is extremely impressive--this is a poet working at incredible visual and sonic capacity. Berrigans poems are fast-paced, irreverent, and often funny, capturing the texture of New York life. Berrigan comes from a family intimately tied to twentieth-century poetics: his mother is acclaimed poet Alice Notley, his father, the acclaimed late poet Ted Berrigan. Berrigan served as Artistic Director of the legendary Poetry Project at St. Marks Church (2004-2007). He is poetry editor for The Brooklyn Rail and Co-Chair of Writing at the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts. He also teaches at Pratt Institute and Brooklyn College.
