n his preface to Tom Clark's epic poem, Ed Dorn writes: "In the American westward expansion . . . the search for peltry [skins, furs, 'soft gold'] led the way before all other exploitationmining, ranching, land hunger. The Pacific Northwest was the last of the late-eighteenth- and early-twentieth-century frontiers, and it is still 'the last frontier.'

"Empire of Skin is the recapitulation of the greatest hunting enterprise of the millennium, which brought the grounding and mapping of what is now demarked by the geopolitical term 'Pacific Rim.' The story encompasses the somber pursuit of prolific creatures [beaver, otter, buffalo, bear] irresistible to a race born without the hats and coats necessary for surviving extreme latitudes. This was the last great raid on nature before nineteenth-century advances in chemistry [yielded synthetic winter fabrics], allowing the masses a measure of warmth and affording the comfortable, morally opportunistic condemnation of the wearing of animal fur . . .

"[Empire of Skin] is a beautifully founded document. It is created with a poetry that carries the authority of the full modern tradition. Its exactitudes of diction generate and inform the imagination. It is only such poetry that is capable of saving such extensive cultural memory from the decaying vortex of history." ... Read more

Product Description
Painter Among Poets: The Collaborative Art of George Schneeman is the first full presentation of the wide range of projects that Schneeman has co-created over the past 35 years. Painter Among Poets not only investigates Schneeman's signature enthusiasm for free-wheeling artistic collaboration, it also considers his work as part of the remarkable tradition of poet/painter collaboration that grew out of 19th- and 20th-century modernism. Always open to spontaneity and engagement, Schneeman encouraged poets to cross over into his dominion and contribute visual elements to the projects in order to create a surprising work of art that neither artist nor poet could have done alone. Painter Among Poets offers the reader a behind-the-scenes look at the high-wire process of collaboration as an outgrowth of Schneeman's friendships with poets Bill Berkson, Ted Berrigan, Michael Brownstein, Tom Clark, Edwin Denby, Larry Fagin, Dick Gallup, Allen Ginsberg, Ted Greenwald, Steve Katz, Lewis MacAdams, Alice Notley, Ron Padgett, Harris Schiff, Peter Schjeldahl, Tom Veitch, Anne Waldman, Lewis Warsh, and many others. Twelve of Schneeman's collaborators contribute essays and remembrances to this volume, which also features an essay by Carter Ratcliff, an extensive conversation between Schneeman and Padgett, a detailed checklist of the artist's collaborations, and a bibliography.

Edited by Ron Padgett.~Essays by Bill Berkson, Tom Clark,Dick Gallup, Ted Greenwald, Steve Katz, Alice Notley, Ron Padgett, Peter Schjeldahl, Carter Ratcliff, et al.

Sympathetic Power
To those familiar with the beautiful, yet tragic life of John Keats, Clark's book is a fantastic read that carries the reader into some of the thoughts and feelings of Keats. Clark's sympathetic identification with the poet's difficult life is conveyed in a number of voices (Keat's and Clark's). There are times of extraordinary power in his way of speaking both for Keats and about Keats. I found it to be a very deeply moving and refreshing look at John Keats. This book is an experience.

out-standing!! i love it! i prefer it to anybody!
I like it alot! send it to me please. i will love you forever and ever!! ... Read more

Product Description
In Paradise Resisted, Tom Clark has written what he calls "a personal field guide to the contemporary West." The 160 lyrics collected here are like snapshots from a magical mystery tourthat starts in the cool blue Rockies, barrels through the desert, and at last breaks down somewhere deep in L.A., "as far west as civilization as known can come and still have a pet tarantula." The Wyoming firmament is wide open like a window into oblivion ("such a threatening space/ what with its great expanse of unaffectionate sky"); Eldora, Colorado, is tremblingly beautiful ("a valley/ of aspens/ and wild flowers/ with the wind/ dithering in them"); Arizona is mainly the sun ("blinding & frontal") and the highway ("a black unreeling truck lane to eternity"). The rural West is a resistible paradise: Clark feels only loneliness there, the little towns interchangeable, everything built as cheaply as possible. It is only in Los Angeles - the Capital City of Postmodernism, its man-made "canyons of concrete/ the perfect environment for a wild dog" - that he feels at home. It is here that he hopes to evolve, "bark by angry bark," into an artist "truly representative/ of the American 21st century." ... Read more
