Foolscap Poetry No. 5
FIRE SEASON
Andrea Brady
Letterpress cover with hand-sewn binding
32 pages (edition of 125)
These new poems churn wastewater and industrial decrepitude against the names of delicate flora and literary ghosts. Edenic sleepers wander through "model cities" feeding on fruits that combine "abundance and fantasy, life and death." Yet at their core, the poems are anchored by domestic holds: a wakeful child, lullabies, time's measure in a lover's aging face, a clumsy game of catch.

No. 4
PILL HILL
Nathaniel Mackey
Letterpress cover with hand-sewn binding
32 pages (edition of 125)
This edition comprises five new installments from Mackey's long-running series, "mu" and Song of the Andoumboulou. Here the Muzak sterility of a hospital room combines with birds tweeting "their beaks off" and "Miles's mute / Moorish and all of what Sonny said." Memory and alienation filter a fogged lens, in which caretakers, visitors, and the sickbed "boat" together float through Pill Hill's uncanny "psychogeographic locality."

From warm Gulf waters to a "simulacrum of a mine" one mile above sea level, Darkroom extends Mlinko's subjects of travel and place, art and music in voluble formal experiments.
