Open Clothes

Poetry. Six years after the publication of ROARING SPRING, Steve Benson gives us his 8th book of poetry, OPEN CLOTHES from Atelos. Benson has long been associated with the Language Poets, particulary during his period of residence in the San Francisco Bay Area between 1976 and 1992. Since 1996, he has lived in Downeast Maine, which is reflected in the earthy questioning of these poems. Benson's REVERSE ORDER (1989), BLUE BOOK (1988), BLINDSPOTS (1981), and AS IS (1978) can also be ordered through SPD.
