Poetry/Fiction. AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN WORDS, while deeply influenced, both structurally and emotionally, by writers like Nietzsche, Cioran, and Wittgenstein, shifts the terrain of philosophical inquiry from purity and high culture to the impersonal subjective and a sort of shattered self-reference. The author describes it as pseudo-aphoristic paragraphs and confessional poetry which confesses nothing: But I'd want to watch. Attend my own funeral. After arranging the music and the order of speakers, I would go last. This limited edition also includes drawings by New York artist Mette Madsen. Susan Noel lives in New York and Pittsburgh.

Chaldea/I Dig Girls by Nick Tosches is "a purse-book of breath from dead places, of gutters that run through paradise and gods who dwell in madness, of ancient wisdoms and ancient rhythms come back to town in kid-mohair britches. Chaldea is Newark. Chaldea is the place of all dark magic, deep within the lake of the heart; the place of resurrection, annihilation, and the breezes of all that is forbidden..." It comprises 25 poems and a story.

Chaldea and I Dig Girls

Eighteen poems ranging 1965-1999 that have two things in common: they're written by Ron Padgett but he's not completely sure. No, he did write them, but as he explains, "Like the surrealist poet Robert Desnos, who could go into a trance, write a poem, and, on awakening, be baffled by his own scribblings, the author of these poems, looking through old folders and notebooks, has discovered poems that, though undeniably his own, he has little or no recollection of having written. Nevertheless the author is mysteriously attracted to these forgotten trysts with the Muse and willing to collect them here—perhaps presumptuously—under his own name, with the hope that the reader, with a memory better than the author’s, will not later think of them as Poems I Guess I Read." The book's a wonderful little shadow recapitulation of nearly the entire length of the author's career. With a cover and five drawings by Padgett's frequent collaborator, the marvelous George Schneeman.
