Way More West(1st Edition) (Poets, Penguin) by Edward Dorn, MichaelRothenberg, Dale Smith Paperback, 352 Pages, Published 2007 by Penguin Books Mobipocket_Ebook ISBN-13: 978-0-14-303869-6, ISBN: 0-14-303869-9
"An essential anthology of an innovative American poet Edward Dorn was not only one of America’s finest poets but a rare critical intelligence and commentator. He was a student of Charles Olson, who helped him to see the American West as a site for his quest for self-knowledge; at the core of his work is a deep sense of place and the people who occupy it, underpinned by a wry ironic dissent. It was Dorn’s comic-epic masterpiece, Gunslin ..."

Wake Up and Dream by MichaelRothenberg Paperback, 104 Pages, Published 2017 by Madhat, Inc. ISBN-13: 978-1-941196-48-9, ISBN: 1-941196-48-9
"Michael Rothenberg’s poetry observes & rages, loves & despairs, gets tender, gets resigned, deals with all the emotive intermittence musically, makes big buzzing soundscapes of protest & short lyrics of dignified beauty have equal space, and looks to explore the world rather than reduce it to bites of judgment. The poems in his Wake Up and Dream strike me as written, imagined, lived, and built all at once, in time & on a remarkably huma ..."

""Out of a seeming mist of in-the-moment observations Michael Rothenberg treats us to hawk-like swoops of intellect that land unerringly on startling insights. He gives us the world that hides from the world and does so with wit, compassion and an ease with technique that renders his poems both masterful and readable." - Robert Priest "From under the Northern California Redwoods, Michael Rothenberg writes with an abundantly concerned and ..."

"Political, personal, and romantic, 'Unhurried Vision' works to savour the impermanent, looking at the moments in a poet's life, contemplating the body of experience. It is the mind on a quiet stroll through longing, loss and beauty. 'Unhurried Vision', a year in the life of Michael, is really a deeply loving celebration and farewell to mentor Philip Whalen, poet, roshi, and all around confounder of boundaries. A day-book; a non-epic ody ..."

"One of the most path-breaking and creatively radical poets of the San Francisco Renaissance, Philip Whalen was part of the 1955 Six Gallery reading where the West Coast Beat movement famously began. Working alongside Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, and Jack Kerouac, Whalen developed a conversational and visually unorthodox style that is unique in contemporary poetry. His lifelong engagement with the impermanent and sensuous, concerns deepe ..."

"Direct and honest, with a deep reverence for the mundane and a zest for the extraordinary in the ordinary moment, Michael Rothenberg takes us down some mean dog streets of the mind. Indefinite Detention: A Dog Story is explosive in intent, but provacative in expression, a testament to the freedom of being: the way out of prison is to dance.

Kyger is a poet of place, with a strong voice-delicate, graceful, and never wasteful; her poems explore themes of friendship, love, community, and morality and draw on Native American myth as well as Asian religion and philosophy. Kyger's love for poetry manifests itself in a grander scheme of consciousness-expan ..."
