Yew Nork

Dale Jensen is one of the most exciting poets writing in America today. After years of putting out chapbooks and running several popular reading venues in the San Francisco Bay Area, his attention turns to his favorite haunts in Yew Nork. Here, Rimbaud of The Illuminations meets Lou Reed in a Bowery bar, except Rimbaud has matured and Lou has taken a hope pill. Come to Jensen's work after a hot bath, double espresso, or stiff drink and bring a Zenlike openness to poems inspired by the cut-up tradition, DaDa, and Language Poets. Dale Jensen, born in Oakland, California, studied experimental psychology at the University of Toronto. He published and edited the experimental poetry magazine Malthus from 1986 through 1989.
