Van Gogh’s Ear (Volume 2) Best World Poetry & Prose

book-vge2

Synopsis

The second volume of the “Van Gogh’s Ear” anthology (with its cover painting by Vincent van Gogh) offers a knock-out array of fresh, exciting poems – beat, slam, nuyorican, experimental, you-name-it – by such daring poets as Peter Orlovsky, Gayle Danley-Dooley, Pedro Pietri, and the list goes on. The result is a dynamic volume chock-full of the verve and artistry of a new millennium of poetry. You’ll experience Bob Perelman’s “Writing Time With Quotes,” showing he can keep more themes and images active simultaneously in a reader’s imagination than almost any other poet alive; Paul Auster’s “Notes From a Composition Book,” a poem that challenges our concepts of what is real and what is word; Dennis Cooper’s chilling “A Symphony of Confusion for the People I Killed”; and “The Theorist has No Samba!” by Edwin Torres, selected from this volume for inclusion in Best American Poetry 2004.
