"This book, a visual survey of much of Adam's work, provides ample material for a critical appraisal of the development of Adam as architect and designer."--Book jacket.

Innocuous enough, Thanksgiving is the most appropriate means to hold this kind of thing. That thing is an odd blending of cuisine and poetry. I am a chef in my day job and how I come to understand art is through this first love. Cuisine has a natural ease to bring out many complex ideas. From seemingly simple foods delightful combinations create, on the palate, sensation that are unlike any experienced previously. And a dinner party, virtual or not, poetry or food, is a as meaningful a gathering for any group of people to honor anyone! Poetry like bread, grows stale if left on the counter overnight.Love is not easy. This began as a farewell toast to Charles Bernstein on his leaving from Buffalo. He always recalled my profession and I could think of no greater thing, than to cook for him and all who would attend such a thingAfter the positive responses of this menu poem, I decide to continue and choose Forrest as the guest of honor. He came to read in Buffalo that October. His poetic presence overwhelmed me and I was so taken with his work that it seemed natural. Both of these writings also occurred because I did not have the money to either invite them a wonderful restaurant, or to my home for a quite dinner. Thinking of it I still cannot. Kent Johnson treated my partner Donna and I to dinner just the other day. Well poverty has its finer points and these poems, for better or worse, are the fruits of these thorns. Nothing would make me happier than to have you over and whip up a meal. If resources were inexhaustible, I would, and can, cook the meals presented. They each are tailored to that particular poet. For instance, Forrest Ganders meal incorporates regional dishes from all the areas in which he lived. Ozark pudding is of course to celebrate his wife, C. D. Wright. Each series is decidedly different in approach and manner. In my growth as a poet I was able to explore the influence / confluence of the many poets who came into and out of my life. Robert Creeley is no more a brighter star in my being than Kent Johnson and these small poorly written poems are in no way the wonderful tribute I would be able to present, if I could only cook these out. Render these words down into the rashers of that feeling that says, holy fuck, that action this writer performed in their meaningless task as poet in a time when the world cares nothing for poets this poet means everything to me! This is my thanking Charles, Forrest, Kent, Bob, and John for everything. Which means nothing, as it is hard to convey everything that one can honor, is it not? Now pass the potatoes Ever & Affectionately,Geoffrey.

Villipede Publications' first horror and dark speculative fiction anthology will tenderly caress your amygdalae and viciously twist your imagination. With fifteen short stories and four poems from both established and upcoming authors, this haunting collection will force readers to reevaluate their thoughts on what darkness really is: something we're all born of yet perpetually trying to flee; a malevolent force that desires our servitude or destruction-or something that simply wishes to lock us in its cold, scaly, fathomless grip. Or perhaps, even, it's an asylum for our jittery minds and confused hearts-a place of solace where humans may patiently inspect their primal natures and desires . . . a place where the barriers between monster and man begin to shift and break down. The authors' origins span the breadth of the globe: the UK, Greece, Australia, Sweden, the US-and their stories are just as diverse. While the styles and subject matter of the stories may differ greatly, what is consistent is the dedication each author has harnessed to create unique fiction and scenarios of bewitching caliber. Holding Darkness Ad Infinitum in your trembling hands, you may find yourself faced with a simple ultimatum: Do you turn around and embrace the darkness of your own free will . . . or will it embrace you first?

This book examines how Jewish intellectuals during and after the Second World War reinterpreted Homer’s epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, in light of their own wartime experiences, drawing a parallel between the ancient Greek genocide of the Trojans and the Nazi genocide of the Jews. The wartime writings of Theodore Adorno, Hannah Arendt, Erich Auerbach, Rachel Bespaloff, Hermann Broch, Max Horkheimer, Primo Levi, and others were attempts both to understand the collapse of European civilization and the Enlightenment through critiques of their foundational texts and to imagine the place of the Homeric epics in a new post-War humanism. The book thus also explores the reception of these writers, analyzing how Jewish child-survivors like Geoffrey Hartman and Hélène Cixous and writers of the post-Holocaust generation like Daniel Mendelsohn continued to read the epics as narratives of grief, trauma, and woundedness into the twenty-first century. .
