Van Gogh's Ear 2
Volume two of Van Gogh's Ear, with its cover painting by Vincent van Gogh, offers a knock-out array of fresh, exciting poems—Beat, Slam, Nuyorican, Experimental, you name it-by such daring poets as Peter Orlovsky, Gayle Danley-Dooley, Pedro Pietri, and the list goes on. The result is a dynamic volume chock-full of the verve and artistry of a new millennium of poetry. You'll experience Bob Perelman's "Writing Time With Quotes", showing he can keep more themes and images active simultaneously in a reader’s imagination than almost any other poet alive; Paul Auster’s "Notes From a Composition Book", a poem that challenges our concepts of what is real and what is word; Dennis Cooper’s chilling "A Symphony of Confusion for the People I Killed"; and "The Theorist has No Samba!" by Edwin Torres, selected from this volume for inclusion in Best American Poetry 2004.
