Some Book Publications, Recent, Forthcoming & In-Progress

 

 For the record I will briefly insert the following list of some of my updated book publications, recently published or now awaiting publication.  A more comprehensive list of books, magazine publications, & interviews between 2009 & 2011 appeared here earlier on Poems and Poetics.

Barbaric Vast & Wild: A Gathering of Outsider & Subterranean Poetry, with John Bloomberg-Rissman, in preparation.

Of these books, preliminary views of Barbaric Vast & Wild have appeared on Poems and Poetics for several years as a "mini-anthology in-progress of outsider poetry," & I've also posted or plan to post excerpts from America a Prophecy, Shaking the Pumpkin, & Eye of Witness.  The possibility of sharing & to some degree decommodifying our writings is one of the true pleasures of on-line publication -- at least for me.  (J.R.)
