Sundial 3 Summers

Sundial 3 SummersAlli Warren Using Alice Notley's 1981 poem 'The Prophet' as an intertextual launchpad, Sundial collects two long poems from Bay Area writer Alli Warren. 'Personal Poem' was written on the precipice of her debut poetry book, Here Come the Warm Jets, and 'Sundial' was written eight years later at the start of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Spanning eight years, these poems address a rapidly changing global world, and the daily experience of that world

de bronnen van het paradijs

relishing that intermediary space of microtonal thought

Perhaps Bernadette Mayer's greatest work
