TOM BETTERIDGE – DRESSINGS
November 2019
============================

“Care is not organic”, begins Tom Betteridge’s Dressings, tracing this “tech/nology”, “all sorts”, a “chorus”, the care work done on and with the body. Gnarly and knotty, “its bruising / settlement” rarely settles for long, or without damage; yet damage has its attendant processes: those of suture for those of rupture, stitch for cut: “so each grain promises / to bind to an other another time”. Examining language and that thing we call a self in all its fleshly materiality, Dressings also analyses their mutual collapse, boundaries and leakage; “the matter of cut / time” in which poetry might figure both as wound and cure, poet as both doctor and patient, patiently touching on the diagnostic yet always turning-off road, shows us the new, troubling, surprising vistas that lie just round the corner.

the time left what’s left to hold harried
tense cycle hemmed in speech scrutiny
bedside duress grey light adore you

Colour covers in gross-out pink; A5, saddle-stapled, 46 pages.

Tom Betteridge is the author of the poetry pamphlets Pedicure (Sine Wave Peak, 2017) and Body Work (Sad Press, 2018) and a critical book, Badiou, Poem and Subject (Bloomsbury, 2019). With Ellen Dillon he co-edited a feature on the poet Peter Manson for the Journal of British and Irish Innovative Poetry. He lives in London.

Published May 2019

======================================

Selected from a sequence of 100 poems written on a long day in the summer of 2013, Anne Boyer's Money City Sick as Fuck imagines writing a poem "in a confederacy of exception [...] called 'wages for tenderness and nothing else'". Situated between Pompeii and Olympus, at "Texaco in ruins" or the amusement park, in a bar called Lethe, at the saddest prom in history, taking "every odd route", these poems passionately survey and survive the streets and jails of the modern-day polis,"sunbathing in Atlantis", oracles IRL.

LISA JESCHKE – THE ANTHOLOGY OF POEMS BY DRUNK WOMEN
Published April 2018

=========================================================

With its characteristic combination of total rigour and complete obscenity, this Anthology of Poems by Drunk Women is deeply attentive to the history of language, the complicities and complexities of poetic figuration, the extreme moral impurity of a fierce and funny and vital ethical commitment. A smiley face sits next to a guillotine, a German word next to an English one, should I or should I not marry Donald Trump, where is Chelsea Manning, Caster Semenya is the greatest 800m runner of the current era, fuck the AfD.

“Guillotine!”

Lisa Jeschke completed a Ph.D in England, and now lives in Munich. She is co-editor of MATERIALS and MATERIALIEN, and the author of Dead Cheap (Face Press, 2014), and, with Lucy Beynon, David Cameron: A Theatre of Knife Songs (Shit Valley, 2015) and The Tragedy of Theresa May (Tipped Press, forthcoming). Poems and critical writing have appeared in Botch, Datableed, Journal of British and Irish Innovative Poetry, materials, No Prizes, Tripwire, &c.

SEAN BONNEY – GHOSTS

Published October 2017

=======================

Poems written in Berlin between September 2015 and the Summer of 2017. This pamphlet contains selected work from the pamphlet Cancer: Poems after Katerina Gogou, previously published in a limited edition, and an ongoing sequence entitled Our Death, as well as other pieces from the period. These are poems haunted by catastrophe, light, fires, the sun, violence and love. As Bonney writes: “We were talking about prophecy, about defeat and war, about how nobody knows what those words really mean, and what they will come to mean”. Drawing on writers like Baudelaire, Artaud, Anita Berber and Hölderlin like “marks on a calendar”, “a kind of cacophony”, or “the beginnings of a map”, these poems are vital indices of where we are.

“These days everyone is writing their final book. Whatever. I’ve lost everything as well. My body is made up of three needles, several coins, a system of nitrates and something wankers would call ‘a philosophy’. I see in the dark and like to smash mirrors. For many other people things are far worse.”

Sean Bonney’s previous books include Letters Against the Firmament (2015), Happiness (2011), The Commons (2011), Document (2008), Baudelaire in English (2007) and Blade Pitch Control Unit (2005). He currently lives in Berlin, where he is conducting postdoctoral research at the Freie Universität.

D.S MARRIOTT – DUPPIES

Published October 2017

=======================

Duppies is a book in three parts which, in the author’s words, pays “deliberate attention to the debased – and misunderstood – aspects of black and white working class grime culture in London; an attempt at a kind of grime prosody, whether imagined though Eski beats, multicultural London English (MLE), cockney rhyming, or sino techno formal experimentation.”

From the Preface:

“Grime is late shift, zero hour, it makes a beeline for bare life, but what it lays bare leaves everyone cold. Grime is the thread that links afro-pessimism to afro-futurism, but its role proceeds without ties or duplicity.

Grime is post-work and post-brexit, its riddims respond to the necessity in which I exist – see these wheels, they may be brand spanking new, but under the bonnet there is fever and anguish. [...]

Grime is payback for n-words and down-lows. It has dominion but no license for each dissolve is charged with an asbo. It makes music from a manor that is not-me, but what it gives has neither use-value nor beauty.

Grime is a medium of the unknown, it refuses everything but possibility: its violence is one without immunity, but its real is dispossession, and is inconsolable without knowing it.”

D.S. Marriott was born in Nottingham in 1963 of Jamaican parentage and was educated at the University of Sussex. He has taught there and now teaches at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He has written many articles on poetics and is the author of On Black Men, published in 2000 by the University Presses of Edinburgh and Columbia, New York, and Haunted Life, published in 2007 by the University Press of Rutgers, New Jersey. His previous collections of poems were Incognegro (Salt Publishing, 2005), Hoodoo Voodoo (Shearsman Books, 2008) and The Bloods (Shearsman, 2011).

GIZEM OKULU– TOO SLICED FOR LANDING
Published January 2017 -- Second printing April 2018

=======================================

Gizem Okulu’s first book is a sequence of 31 poems which, in broken and extended lines, explore the terrifying possibility of lack of speech, of blocked communication: a poetry written between languages and countries which both bridges and attests to the gap, the chasm that “opens / up / isolated / and / frightened”. These are poems about wandering, fleeing, fogs and rivers, conditions of distance and danger, marked at times by flashes of biting humour and throughout by intense commitment.

“I do not belong here nor there I say but here I want to make you a house from the memories of every woman you ever had before like the resistance of senses meeting for one last time in the mirror we slept between the rivers and smokes in earthquake lights all day and night in the cities against the sun.”

Gizem Okulu is a poet who has published poems in Botch, Datableed, Intercapillary Space, &c. and is studying for a Ph.D at Royal Holloway. She lives in London.

STUART CALTON – WIMPY AND ANDRé

Published January 2017

===================================

A poem in ten sections, setting forth the interrelations between protagonists Wimpy, Climpy, Sandy and André, in a potentially infinite selection of mixed scenarios. Amongst other sounds, the poem includes the sounds of a car alarm, the thin barking of a radically rationalised trick poultice, a shout, a voice, silence, static, galloping and The Lark Ascending played triple-speed nine octaves up like rain on a steel bin-lid over a rave synth line. You need to read it.

“Just too big. Firstly way too big. And then just right.”

Stuart Calton is the author of the following books: Blepharospasms (2016), Live at Late Dilated Ileum (2015), The Torn Instructions for No Trebuchet (2013), Three Reveries (2010), The Corn Mother (2006), The Bench Graft (2004), United Snap Up (2004), and Sheep Walk Cut (2003).

NAOMI WEBER – VERY LONELY ANIMALS

Published November 2016

==================================

Naomi Weber’s lyric sequence Very Lonely Animals sprawls across its pages in slabs of delicate observation, working through the condition of innerness and outerness, fragmentation and totality. The locations of these poem are wide open, seas and coasts, rooms in which people nestle and seek protection, but from which they pereptually seem to be on the verge of leaving: the line ripens in sounds unfolding within and across the break, lulling or obscuring.

This is poetry that sings it own song, almost to itself, from just off-centre.

“This world we love and keep our love in keeps

Tearing our hands

The shreds around nails dragging behind

Looking around for gazes to meet

Digging bone to neighbourly flesh

God help me I am trying to be kind

But what other worlds have you given us

To serve, says a secret prayer”

Naomi Weber is a poet who has published poems in Datableed, No Money, &c. She has another new book forthcoming from Tim Thornton and Verity Spott’s The Winter Olympics Press.

PETER GIZZI – MARIGOLD & CABLE

Published July 2016

==================================

Marigold and Cable: A Garland for the New Year was written in January 2014 in relation to Alex Cobb’s album of the same name, and was first published by Shelter Press in 2014. The poem has been revised for this edition. Each page of lyric folds and unfolds into the next, its tough and fragile voice settling on gold and sun, on elegy and death, effulgent and full, sozzled and bedazzled, examining and inhabiting the condition of song.

Peter Gizzi is the author of books including In Defense of Nothing: Selected Poems, 1987-2011 (Wesleyan University Press, 2014); The Outernationale (Wesleyan University Press, 2007), Some Values of Landscape and Weather (2003), Artificial Heart (1998), and Periplum (1992). He edited The House That Jack Built: The Collected Lectures of Jack Spicer (1998), and, with Kevin Killian, co-edited My Vocabulary Did This to Me: The Collected Poetry of Jack Spicer (2008).

In morning’s coloratura

a magick eye plays tricks

under the ongoing mossy

cloud-mass, exhilarating

triangles and timpani softly

in silt air, in the blanketed

nowhere of now

KENNETH IRBY – ARMY POEMS

Published April 2016

============================

6 previously unpublished poems, written during Irby’s time in the US army in 1962: first in Sandia Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico, then Johnston Island, North Pacific.

Kenneth Irby published over twenty books of poetry during his lifetime, including The Intent On: Collected Poems in 2009. The poems presented here have been prepared from Irby’s personal archives by that book’s co-editor, Kyle Waugh, who also provides a preface.

Lyn Hejinian has written of Irby’s poetry that it “radiates love”.

Irby died in 2015.

“The ‘Army Poems’ express Irby’s outraged affection for his grossly mistreated, ‘absenced friends’, at least one of whom was dishonorably discharged for ‘committing homosexual acts’ (as the army then put it.) J.G., K.W., Schefelker – even the names are shredded. But Irby carries a company whither he goes: “The people torn apart”, he writes, not by, but “in the Army / are with me.” Against the military’s puritanical fear that seeks not to cleanse the body, but to erase it altogether, in Moloch’s “cloud of sexless hydrogen” (Ginsberg 131), Irby’s ‘Army Poems’ celebrate the edaphic tenderness of the body’s “juice and flesh”. The ecstasy in sharing it—“not a movement to leave the body, but a movement of the whole body to join that which surrounds it” (29)—is an act of chthonic resistance: “the blow job, the eat, the suck // are not dirty,” he insists, “not even to mention, / but imperishable”. Irby is a poet of the anarcho-pastoral. He walks on his own unplanted self.”

A Long Dramatic Monologue about recent developments in population control and work enforcement, done up as a chase sequence involving a mysterious booming sound, a side-scrolling pig’s head, and a lucky number seven, and featuring an extended cameo by the brain structure primarily responsible for coordinating stress response in humans and other animals.

“The conclusion is theoretically wrong. But before that, in the run-up to it, on the road to hell with the first door that exits from a pipe protruding upwards in the vicinity of the third door leading onwards into a highway with a person standing in it, call it me or you.”

DAVID BRAZIL - PRAXIS, APOSTLES!

Published August 2015

=================================

David Brazil is the author of The Ordinary and Holy Ghost (both published by Compline), among others. Most recently, Antisocial Patience came out from Roof Books in 2015. Praxis, Apostles! continues his engagement with theology and revolutionary politics; one might view it as a sequel to his metrical translation of St Paul’s letter to the Romans, the final section of The Ordinary. Sections in rhyming couplets sit alongside lines that spread across the page, almost to its edge, the seemingly archaic and the contemporary not separated but crowding in together, “from out the wreck / the wreck of my / particulars, my / placenames.” Far from being an arcane exercise, this is a poetry that is fully and fundamentally concerned with issues of common justice and social transformation. “and common things of commons we require / each one apportioned regions of the fire.”

ROSA VAN HENSBERGEN – LIGHTS OUT TO LOVE IN HD

ISBN 978-1-091998-95-7. Published January 2015.

==================================================

My transmissions have been hacked. Upfront as I am.

Lights out to Love in HD is a 120-page work in prose. Split figures are figured by an unnamed narrator; watched and watching, on the screen, in the room: there are eyes on me, not only my own, but all eyes in the gloom; shadowy forces drag into shadow and bright night-lit glare, at home, in the supermarket, on the computer screen which holds out indifferently, levers hierarchy of emotion.

It is in this way, not sure what corpse or shade I sit in, that I walk the aisle…Searching back to source, the narrator sets out to trace the core anguish, scout the worm – we flash back, faces on the screen watch and are watched, language sinuous insinuates in rhyme and polyglot ease an ease of style belying surveilled unease. In other words, address the problem areas around knowing / not knowing. Guzzle in their origin. Meat and flesh, sex or death, taut or taught, in control or out, imposed in infantile pose, react, controlled or abject, the skin stretched as paper over the head, the grass false or real, virtual, organic, socially made, evolve, dissolve, revolve, go glitch; in the stifling courtyard enclosed, in the city a cell, with infinite free drinks, the packs of produce, a body in a bed, the weight of stone rocked to nuclear, collapsing into pollen, minute detail of the body gesture danced or forced, reeling, unsure in fact of where was back and where was home, and of where located their relation to one another…To know your place, where that placement is uncertain and hidden, rifled over and shot through in machine and in social code: Held distended in distance that home dissociates, pixel display.

This is a book in which reformulative technique, a melting and rewelding of the associative structures of language lies at the heard and fold of my detective strategies.

TOM ALLEN – WATCH-FIRES

ISBN 978-1-091998-96-4. Published January 2015.

=========================================

This is Tom Allen’s first book: a long poem with a Coda for Diane Di Prima. Inside, stones, clocks, fires, rivers, screaming pigs, the singing dead, ein guter mensch, Hell approached across a series of lines and pages in various potential or actual manifestations and angles. At times the poem’s lines seem to gesture towards the quality of aphorism, but also to place that quality in a different and more fraught, tautly-held suspense, chiselled and “slow. slow”, yet far from decorous: fully freighted and fully forceful.

SARA LARSEN – MERRY HELL

ISBN 978-1-091998-97-1. Published December 2014.

=========================================

Sara Larsen is a poet based in Oakland, CA.

Her previous publications include NOVUS, A,a,a,a,a, The Hallucinated, After Sappho and All Revolutions Will Be Fabulous.

With David Brazil, she produced over sixty issues of the Bay Area zine Try!

She is involved in the organizing committee for the Bay Area Public School, an autonomous free school at the Omni Commons in Oakland.

MERRY HELLL is dedicated to Helen of Troy, to the women of the Paris Commune, and “to my friends, now.” Commons and communes past and present come up against patriarchal law, capitalism, military and police violence, logics of cash and sacrifice, in lines that spread out, that elongate in notated waves of sight and breath. The poem is urgent, witty and this only an excerpt – the full book will appear from Atelos Press in 2015.
