Ed Barrett's Down New Utrecht Avenue88pgs. $14
"Opening Ed Barrett's DOWN NEW UTRECHT AVENUE is like happening on a mint-condition, hitherto unknown set of chromolithograph baseball cards of an unimaginable rarity. Yes, but what do I do with them? You don't have to do anything, the 'unimaginable' takes care of that. Just sit and let them wash over you pleasantly but firmly, like 'a three-game series raveling and unraveling the hajj of things drifting through you'"—John Ashbery
Tom Pickard's More Pricks Than Prizes68pgs $12
This brief, vivid memoir of Tom’s experiences from the 1960s and 1970s—his friendship with Basil Bunting, a love behind the Iron Curtain, a criminal trial—make for absorbing reading (as well as a marvelous companion to the poetry). (Flood Editions)
