Cicada
 

Cicada by Mark Nickels

"In most ways Cicada is an astounding book, nearly a new species of poetry. Often the poems poach gracefully in the territory of the novel. I was poignantly taken by the astute fluidity of the language, the facility of looking at ordinary things in a radical new way. This book should be widely read because it announces the arrival of a poet who has a good shot at being major." -- Jim Harrison

Paperback book: $12.95 (CD included)

He Dreams in Waters
 

He Dreams of Water by Bill Kushner

"Bill Kushner! Master tailor, stitching Comedy and Tragedy together with Art, his is not one-size-fits-all: his is gay and camp, sad and sheer, mad and simply mad about poetry. He's Frank O'Hara's running mate, and he's finally having his say heard. Listen up!" -- Bob Holman
