Abstract:"A seminal voice in American prose poetry from the sixties onward, Russell Edson's whole career is surveyed in a single volume edited for our times, presenting a new and contemporary view of a poet of startling imagination and strangeness"--
A baby that keeps losing its brain, a cow in a wedding gown, a woman whose chest is a radio--bizarre and whimsical figures populate the dreamlike prose poems of Russell Edson (1935-2014). Edson was a seminal voice in American prose poetry from the sixties onward. His whole career is surveyed in this single posthumous volume edited for our times, presenting a new and contemporary view of a poet of startling singular imagination. Craig Morgan Teicher calls us to witness Edson's obsessions with the curious, the absurd, and the peculiar, and the ways in which they can haunt our daily lives. The prose poems in this collection mold our everyday into something extraordinary and unsettling--back cover
