Lisa Robertson Chicago Review


The latest issue of Chicago Review edited by Joshhua Kotin (Double Issue 51:4 abd 52:1) is a must for anyone interested in the work of Lisa Robertson. The first half of the book (to pp.97) consists of a special section on Robertson and her work that includes two long poems [Palinodes and Utopia/] along with commentary by the author on these works; an interview with Robertson by Kai Fierle-Hedrick; a bibliographic checklist; and critical essays by Benjamin Freidlander, Christine Stewart, Jennifer Scappettone, and Joshua Clover.

Adult Video


In lieu of the fantastic afternoon that Margaret Christakos put on last Sunday as The Crepes of Consciousness, I will let everyone know about her new chapbook just out from Nomados.

Adult Video uses 'male-driven Oulipian procedural vision' to watch and then rewind through 'prono'. What more could you want in a book?

Another fine Nomadosian production.
