What can I tell you about this book that would entice you to spend twenty one dollars on an art, poetry, and word book? Probably nothing. Other than the fact that Randomly Accessed Poetics, Heart Splatters Into Significance, is an elegantly designed book. I know what you're thinking, "what book is worth twenty one dollars?" If you really want to get this book, but don't want to part with the Twenty one dollars, go to the Kindle store and get if for three. Of course, the paper version is far more beautiful and you do not need an electronic device to view it on. Here is what you are purchasing, should you decide to part with your twenty one dollars, in between these pages there are thirty five contributors from all over the world. Most of them are from the United States. And sixteen are from Washington State. Greg Brisendine is performance poet who makes his living in theater; he has two poems in this book. Larry Crist has been published prolifically in little magazines and big ones too, like Rattle. Duane Kirby Jensen is a poet painter from Everett. He curates a spoken word venue at Cafe Zippy's on Wetmore Avenue. Brandon Pitts has written plays, novels, and countless poems. For Chris Jarmick, poetry is everything, he is author of a book titled "Ignition: Poem Starters, Septolets, Statements & Double Dog Dares." Jeannine Hall Gailey was appointed to position of Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington in 2012. Carla Blaschka, is a Seattle lifer who, draws inspiration for her short stories from The Stranger and from Capitol Hill. There are many more exciting writers between these pages waiting to be read. People who are just as much in love with writing as I am. People who organize the randomness of our world into words and images. Me, I am just a country boy who lives in Oregon and works in a casino. And maybe that is why you should buy this book. To see how a nobody country guy can organize the words of others into a beautiful bouquet. * * * The fourth issue of Randomly Accessed Poetics features work from B.Z.

This book is a sampling of my publications in several forms and genres. I hope these selections will move the reader to read my novels and story collections available through Amazon, (www.amazon.com/author/terencekuch) Barnes & Noble, etc., or on the publishers' own sales websites. In addition to novel, short story, poem, and dramatic excerpts, Pictures of the Invisible includes a number of microfictions first posted on my popular "Memorable Fancies" website, www. terencekuch.com, also at Memorable Fancies on Facebook. If there is one overriding theme in these pieces, it is strangeness, whatever the genre: the feeling that something is not quite the way we thought it was, and that the longer we live and the more we learn, the more strange our reality seems. This has always been true of both particle physics and the human mind. It is true, as well, of everything else.

“A fine and selective anthology that’s also a critical introduction to some of the most provocative, and some of the most original, poetry out there.” —Stephanie Burt, author of Don’t Read Poetry: A Book About How to Read Poems The American Poets in the 21st Century series continues with another anthology focused on female poets. Like the earlier books, this volume includes generous selections of poetry by some of the best poets of our time as well as illuminating poetics statements and incisive essays on their work. This unique organization makes these books invaluable teaching tools.

Representing three generations of women writers, among the insightful pieces included in this volume are essays by Karla Kelsey on Mary Jo Bang’s modes of artifice, Christine Hume on Carla Harryman’s kinds of listening, Dawn Lundy Martin on M. NourbeSe Phillip (for whom “english / is a foreign anguish”), and Sina Queyras on Lisa Robertson’s confoundingly beautiful surfaces.

The last decades have seen a revival of fragmentation in British and American works of fiction that deny linearity, coherence and continuity in favour of disruption, gaps and fissures. Authors such as Ali Smith, David Mitchell and David Shields have sought new ways of representing our global, media-saturated contemporary experience which differ from modernist and postmodernist experimentations from which the writers nevertheless draw inspiration. This volume aims to investigate some of the most important contributions to fragmentary literature from British and American writers since the 1990s, with a particular emphasis on texts released in the twenty-first century. The chapters within examine whether contemporary forms of literary fragmentation constitute a return to the modernist episteme or the fragmented literature of exhaustion of the 1960s, mark a continuity with postmodernist aesthetics or signal a deviation from past models and an attempt to reflect today’s accelerated culture of social media and over-communication. Contributors theorise and classify literary fragments, examine the relationship between fragmentation and the Zeitgeist (influenced by globalisation, media saturation and social networks), analyse the mechanics of multimodal and multimedial fictions, and consider the capacity of literary fragmentation to represent personal or collective trauma and to address ethical concerns. They also investigate the ways in which the architecture of the printed book is destabilised and how aesthetic processes involving fragmentation, bricolage and/or collage raise ontological, ethical and epistemological questions about the globalised contemporary world we live in and its relation to the self and the other. Besides the aforementioned authors, the volume makes reference to the works of J. G. Ballard, Julian Barnes, Mark Z. Danielewski, David Markson, Jonathan Safran Foer, David Foster Wallace, Jeanette Winterson and several others.

The American Poet Laureate shows how the state has been the silent center of poetic production in the United States since World War II. It is the first history of the national poetry office, the U.S. poet laureate, highlighting the careers of Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Pinsky, Tracy K. Smith, Juan Felipe Herrera, and Joy Harjo at the nation’s Capitol. It is also a history of how these state poets participated in national arts programming during the Cold War. Drawing on previously unexplored archival materials at the Library of Congress and materials at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Amy Paeth describes the interactions of federal bodies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department, and the National Endowment for the Arts, with literary organizations and with private patrons, including “Prozac heiress” Ruth Lilly. The consolidation of public and private interests is crucial to the development of state verse culture, recognizable at the first National Poetry Festival in 1962, which followed Robert Frost’s “Mission to Moscow,” and which became dominant in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The American Poet Laureate contributes to a growing body of institutional and sociological approaches to U.S. literary production in the postwar era and demonstrates how poetry has played a uniquely important, and largely underacknowledged, role in the cultural front of the Cold War.

John Kinsella explores a contemporary poetics and pedagogy as it emerges from his reflections on his own writing and teaching, and on the work of other poets, particularly contemporary writers with which he feels some affinity. At the heart of the book is Kinsella's attempt to elaborate his vision of a species of pastoral that is adequate to a globalised world (Kinsella himself writes and teaches in the USA, the UK and his native Australia), and an environmentally and politically just poetry. The book has an important autobiographical element, as Kinsella explores the pulse of his poetic imagination through significant moments and passages of his life. Whilst theoretically informed, the book is accessibly written and highly engaging.
