"Puma Perl is a remarkable poet and an exciting performer. Retrograde is a true contemporary masterpiece." - John Sinclair, poet, jazz and blues historian, former manager of the MC5, radio host, and political activist With "Retrograde", Puma Perl goes back in time in order to move forward-and what a trip this proves to be. This is a journey of life and survival among the ghosts and dreams of a past captured with full honesty and sharp humor (sometimes self-deprecating, other times pinning the tail on absurdity). Funny, smart, dirty yet tender, Puma Perl brings the descriptive eye of Lou Reed to her apocalyptic rock and roll vision of the world. Cover photo by Bill DesJardins. Author photo by Len DeLessio.

Poetry. "To the edgy, illustrious ranks of poets like Diane Di Prima and Charles Bukowski, let us now add the fearless, delirious genius of Puma Perl. Long a cult legend and staple of the Lower East Side poetry scene, with BIRTHDAYS BEFORE AND AFTER she steps forward and cements her place as 21st Century visionary and unsparing chronicler of the human condition. Anyone who cares about phenomenal writing and one-of-a-kind breathtaking lines on the page needs to read this book. Puma Perl is nothing short of a national treasure living in our midst. And BIRTHDAYS is a jewel."--Jerry Stahl
