ONE-DOLLAR BOOKS (poetry, fiction, nonfiction)

(One free with each order over $40 while supplies last)

Poetry (trade paper unless otherwise noted)

LOGAN, WILLIAM >> DIFFICULTY >> from Godine, a slim but wonderful collection by a great American poet, in great condition except some dumb guy named "Jeff" wrote his name and address on the inside front cover many, many years ago.

POPE, ALEXANDER >> THE WORKS OF ALEXANDER POPE >> from Wordsworth Poetry Library, with an introduction by Andrew Crozier and bibliography

PORTER, PATRICK >> THE INTRUSIVE ACHE OF MORNING >> $1; from Third Mind Press by an obscure but interesting poet who has probably been dead of starvation for at least five years (2000 is the publication date). Nothing's on the back cover except for a poem, from which I quote: "Stop f--cking around/A tight mob of components/That move with beautiful sound/All apart/They gracefully mock and strain and grasp..." So, for the memory of this probably completely dead poet, buy his book and toast him and you read its hardly opened pages.

RIMBAUD, ARTHUR >> RIMBAUD >> from Harper & Row, in a well-used copy that's got writing on the half title page, translated by Paul Schmidt

SHURIN, AARON >> INVOLUNTARY LYRICS >> from Omnidawn, with a lovely cover, "a dance with primordial speech offered through the dark playfulness of the flesh and mediated always by the double agent youth/age," according to Diane di Prima. All that for under five bucks, you lucky readers.

SPERBER, BARBARA >> IN THE GARDEN OF OUR OWN MAKING >> from Papier-Mache, about a woman and her dying mother, written with a mature clarity

STEVENS, C.J. >> COLLECTED POEMS >> from JW, the collected works of a widely translated poet whose work has also appeared in many influential literary magazines in the U.S. "

WALDROP, ROSMARIE >> LOVE, LIKE PRONOUNS >> from Omnidawn, with her meditations that draw from European and American experimentation, lavishly praised by Publishers Weekly.
