"A long-time master of the jazzy long work, Clark Coolidge has this time turned the long poem in prose into a non-fiction novel or tomb full of buried things taken with you of the new existence of old logic and present looking, all sung by a free man wortking alone and trapped as one is in cave with finite supply of oxygen, food, breath & luck"--Bernadette Mayer on MINE. Coolidge"s many other titles available from SPD include ALIEN TATTERS, WAY OUT WEST, ON THE NAMEWAYS, and ON THE NAMEWAYS VOL. 2.
