* from Mistakes, Accidents and a Want of Liberty:

A blue frame measures the family outing.
An investigation into the “brutalizing effects”
between what you have, what I have, and
the measuring of a “wretched condition,
without remedy.”

(A hole grows at the center and water
Doesn’t fill it, even if you dive in.)

* from the Editor of Tarpaulin Sky: this chapbook wrenches us into heightened consciouness more quickly than eating glass. To quote from Rivera, "the lacerations 'opened my eyes' . . ."

TRILCE

James Wagner's Trilce is now available for your reading pleasure from Derek White's Calamari Press. The 77 poems in James Wagner's Trilce are homophonic translations of César Vallejo’s book of the same name, or at least that was the cathartic process Wagner underwent—in creating them, his versions take on a life of their own. Read and listen to some online samples, as well as what Rosmarie Waldrop and Michael Burkard have to say about Wagner's Trilce, here.

You can get yourself a copy of Trilce directly from Calamari Press, or from Powells.

To celebrate the release of his new book, James Wagner will be coming out to NYC for a whirlwind weekend of readings. April 29 at 2 PM he will be at the Tarpaulin Sky/Frequency Series at the Four-faced Liar. Later that evening at 7 PM, he will be at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn. Then on Sunday April 30 at 7 PM, he will be at the Lungfull series at Zinc bar.
