Clark Coolidge's book-length meditation on a crystal-long considered a masterpiece of American avant-garde poetry-returns in a new edition."No other poet ever has so exquisitely, and sometimes also turbulently, written sheer sonic wonder into poetry."-Lyn Hejinian, author of My Life and My Life in the NinetiesIn the summer of 1982, Clark Coolidge received an unexpected gift of a crystal; small, clear, entirely unexceptional, the crystal nonetheless provoked the poet into writing what has long been considered his masterpiece, The Crystal Text (1986). A durational poem composed over the course of 10 months, in daybook-like entries of varying length, The Crystal Text is multifaceted and elusive, constantly interrogating itself. Is it a meditation on its titular object like Keats's "Urn" or a radical investigation of the limits of language as a signifying system? Is the poet channeling the crystal to access its message or is the crystal channeling the poet, drawing language from him to fill its colorless emptiness? Is it dictation or improvisation? Is the poem a record of its own crystalline growth or does it capture the process of consciousness itself? The Crystal Text refuses to resolve the questions it raises but rather inhabits its various possibilities simultaneously, resulting in one of the major works of late 20th century American avant-garde poetry. This new edition includes a preface by poet and scholar Peter Gizzi and an afterword in which Coolidge discusses the text with poet Jason Morris and City Lights editor Garrett Caples. Associated with the New York School and subsequently inspiring the Language Poets, Coolidge remains one of the most singular and original American poets of our time.

8 x 10 in., 48 pp., smyth-sewn in wrappers. Bomb is a meditation on a book of photographs that document the Manhattan Project, Los Alamos. The 30-page poem begins with epigraphs by Democritus, Gregory Corso, and André Breton/Paul Éluard before embarking upon its own project of lucid investigation via an elliptical glancing narration: "Put the bomb in a glass vase/add dust and forget." Bomb is sharp, stark, rhythmic; Coolidge tangles with the dreamlike oddness of the photographs in fits and starts of language with an explosive beauty. Waldrop's series of collages are literal reworkings of the original pictures: deep blacks and bright whites excavated from the book, remade here in the image of the poem. Printed offset with two-color cover. Designed by Emily Y. Ho. This is from an edition of 1500 copies in wrappers, of which 26 are lettered and signed by the poet and artist. Regular edition out-of-print. Near fine.
