![]() Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.

Rockdrill 9: Ghost TantrasMichael McClure
Imprint: Audio CDs
Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: CD (Pub. Jun 2005) 9781905001088 Out of Stock
Rockdrill is a series of unusual audio CDs commissioned by the Contemporary Poetics Research Centre at Birkbeck College, London, & produced by Colin Still and Birdie Hall of Optic Nerve.
The series includes the work by British and American poets, and combines new and archival recordings. Each CD is remarkable for the scope and range of material included, and the quality of production. This unique sound library is scheduled to grow in directions suggested by the initial list, which included Robert Creeley (two CDs), Lee Harwood, Tom Raworth (two CDs) and Jerome Rothenberg (two CDs). 'Many of these early poems were written spontaneously and with no changes. Some of them were written and structured over and over many times with hidden rhymes ringing in my unconscious ears. I believed it was a dark night of the soul - and visions and colors and radiating lights were unstoppable. Later, coming out of the darkness, I began writing the Ghost Tantras and all was new.' |
