Benjamin's Spectacles

Spring Ulmer

80 pages, 6.5 x 8.5" paper

Price: $14 ISBN: 978-1-888553-22-7

"Walter Benjamin had the heart of a poet, and always served the imagination first. Spring Ulmer finds him there, in the imagination, and recognizes him as another being of language--of angels and demons. This is poetry from the world Benjamin left behind, with all its unspeakable delights and terrors, conspiracies and heartbreaks--'thimblefuls of relation' and 'inner conversations' among a host of 'disoriented survivors.' This is poetry 'unhanging itself,' unburying itself into being."

—David Levi Strauss

Selected Poems

Jeremy Ingalls

96 pages, 4.5 x 7.5" paper

Price: $11 ISBN: 978-1-888553-24-3

“Jeremy Ingalls (1911-2000) was a metaphysical modernist, a formalist who worked to reconcile the tradition of fixed-form poetry with the imperative for invention. She was a scholar of world mythology and literature, and a woman committed to a poetics of psychic event and social force. From a twentieth-century anxiety about the increasing scale of violence and tyranny, and the loss of shared identity that political upheaval induces. . . Ingalls saw the mission of poetry as an aesthetic, formal, and moral challenge."

—Alison Hawthorne Deming
