Philip Metres’s “Instants” is no exception. The conciseness of the historical, poetic narrative remains intact as Metres challenges literary dominance through this mysterious thriller.And more thanks are due to Phil Cordelli, the designer at Ugly Duckling Presse, who imaginatively worked through some shared ideas to make a truly stunning little book.
Further thoughts on the cultural labor of poetry and art. Not merely "is it good?," but "what has it accomplished?"...reviews of recent poetry collections; selected poems and art dealing with war/peace/social change; reviews of poetry readings; links to political commentary (particularly on conflicts in the Middle East); youtubed performances of music, demos, and other audio-video nuggets dealing with peaceful change, dissent and resistance.
