What do Rosmarie Waldrop, a penis museum, columbian legends, and code poetry have in common?

March 4, 2015 by E. Rowan

The new season of Anomalous Press titles is nearly upon us, and I spent the whole day getting these amazing things off to the printer. (I’m so spacey that I just wrote titles, then it looked wrong so I tried titels, but no, its, definitely titles…) [update: you can now pre-order the whole 2015 season!] And seriously, I say this every year, but these books are so so good! As always, we’re doing super-limited runs of 100, with digital (but beautifully designed) […]

Anomalous 7: Translation

November 16, 2012 by E. Rowan

Well, despite all sorts of technical difficulties including no internet this week, we launched the newest, latest issue of Anomalous! And I’m so happy about this issue. It has some really amazing artwork by Mike Edrington, for starters: After Life, a series of photographs made at the University of Iowa Natural History Museum and super eerie. It also has one of the coolest translation features we’ve done. Last year I read engulf — enkindle by Anja Utler translated by Kurt Beals (Burning Deck) […]

Voyager

November 6, 2012 by E. Rowan

I just finished reading Srikanth Reddy’s astonishing erasure Voyager. I’d love to teach this book, and possibly I will this summer in a course on artistic appropriation. Because I think this is the best example of an erasure-text I’ve seen. It’s so wholly controlled, there’s no question that the work of the poem is inseparable from the poetic intent of the erasure work. Still, it’s clearly engaged with its source text, constrained without being limited. A commentary not just on its source text, but […]

What Counts

November 5, 2012 by E. Rowan

I recently ran into one of my former poetry professors, someone who had a profound impact on my development as a writer, and a reader, of poetry. I’m a notoriously lousy contact, so we hadn’t seen each other in a while, and he was happily surprised to learn that I was just starting an MFA in poetry. He was very surprised that I was at Brown. I am, according to him, the first creative writer from my undergraduate institution, UMass […]
