Sonnagrams 1-20 by K. Silem Mohammad
The first
installment of K. Silem Mohammad's anagrammatic manipulations of Shakespeare
that tell us, among other things, that "Richard Nixon screwed a giant squid,"
and that there is "a word the OED omits," and "Whoever says it retches, dies,
and shits." This one's a killer!
Ladybug Laws by Laura Moriarty
An imagined society of Ladybugs, you and I--Moriarty takes us into the realm of
the possible where language and civil disobedience are both games to be played
for real. "Some writers to their readers are as spiders / But you to me as
reader are insectivore / Or creature of paradise".
Market Freakout by
Stan Apps
Poetry is like the forces of the market. Adjustment of the
forces is like being in love with "Santheripean Kingdies." Apps takes us on a
poly-vocal exploration of the realities of a world run by Wall
Street.
Alphabet Man by A. J. Patrick Liszkiewicz
The concrete
poems in this volume are produced using all of the letters of the alphabet each
exactly one time. Clean, provocative, and almost sculptural, Liszkiewicz plays
with a very plastic conception of language. A must for those interested in the
visual use of the letter.
