New Releases by William Fuller

A resonant new collection from the "Secrecy Officer of American Poetry" (J.H. Prynne) "With its uncanny ability to switch between the ecstatic and the vaguely administrative, Signal Flow is a clear statement of what''s possible in the twenty-first century-non-totalizing, democratic in its equivalence of anticipation, expectation and unpredictability, and optimistic in its assessment of the power for renewal. There is constant invention, given understandings uprooted from syntactical soil and replaced with a range of textual strategies. With no homogeneous surface, a vast reading space rises as from an undecidable pool or in the window of a Magic 8 Ball, a frequently intoxicating vortex of misdirection, one alembic catching the distillate from another. And the wonderful use Fuller makes of ''natural'' subjects (insects, birds, bushes, recesses, clouds, trees), yoking them to the politics of co-existence, is itself direct democracy, an anarchy full of the verve and vivacity of one (M. Fuller) who knows how to do things. A politics of which being a part is not only livable but endlessly rewarding." - Larry Price

BACK COUNTRY Ex-G.I. Brad Dolan is traveling through central Florida, trying to forget his past, when his car breaks down. While waiting for a repair, he checks out the town and finds that everyone here in Carter County is afraid of a guy named Rand Ringo. Apparently Ringo owns the town. And after a bar fight that lands him in the local jail, Dolan soon finds himself introduced to Mr. Ringo, who offers him a job as his right-hand man. Ringo owns the county alright, and now he wants to own Dolan. And Dolan wouldn't have a problem with that except that Ringo's wife, Billy, keeps throwing herself at him. And then there's Ringo's beautiful daughter, Gloria, a sweet temptation. Dolan has stepped into a powder keg of a situation, and will be lucky if he can get out with his life.

These poems were written over a period of several years. They cover a range of topics from memories of segregation in Alabama, to high school loves, to the discovery of an exotic, albeit unsavory, world from Malaysia to the Philippines. Back in the U.S., the elation and heartbreak of love led to philosophical skepticism which he expressed in brutal sarcasm. Both the light and darkness of life can be found here.

Poems.

This beautifully presented volume is a faithful reproduction of W. F. Pocock''s book of 1819 and a major landmark in the publication of architectural facsimiles. It is probably the most important Georgian pattern book not hitherto reprinted. This remarkable work is of fundamental importance in understanding the dynamic story of church and chapel building in the period after Waterloo, and was the only book ever produced on this subject before 1836. The 44 model designs were enthusiastically copied, especially by Nonconformists, and the letterpress provided sound, practical suggestions for those contemplating building. It also had enormous influence in North America where countless buildings can be traced back to Pocock''s manual, a compelling chapter in the story of transatlantic architectural history. The original work of 87 pages is accompanied by a scholarly, well-illustrated introduction by Christopher Webster, the leading expert on churches of this period, who sets the book in its wider context.

In Watchword, William Fuller plots the paths of consciousness with sensitivity and precision. Pivoting on what he has elsewhere called "transfer points almost too elusive to name," his poems shift—sometimes mid-word—between languages of commerce, the natural sciences, and seventeenth-century Neoplatonism (among others). Such moments of exchange elicit both wonder and horror; what emerges is a marriage of heaven and hell. Sample Poem: whether transmutation of sweat into air signifies the middle of unrealized thought by lease and release of interest in what we call things not anxious to be combined by cold estimation none to sweep up after the crazed, the shaken those prepared to sacrifice through imaginative or sensitive power the flavor, the sweetness none could describe except the enflamed

Poetry. Drawing equally on Buddhist sutras and country blues, William Fuller''s SADLY derives compassion from its ironic vision. Quick and sometimes elusive, these poems observe fluctuations in economic markets, the weather, and human consciousness. "Despite the confession that the ''nonexistence of essences is a pain in my heart, '' these poems remain confident of ''the insubordination of many/ thousand aggregates swirling up the light pole.'' And they generously share that confidence with the reader in return for a politic hope: ''if we could only stand back/ as "they" rather than "us."'' Hitting the marvelous heights of his earlier collection, AETHER, SADLY finds Fuller''s ''sloping toward heaven/ but not parasitic on it''" Simon Perril."

Poetry. In this pamphlet-length poem, William Fuller offers a text where language is a wing. Fuller makes perceptible the struggle for the text to co-exist with its human interpreters (both author and reader). We are confronted with a poem which states Land alleges my form / amputated by poetry. In this poem written in memory of Tim McGinnis, Fuller places our mortality at the book''s core: Neither flesh nor word, I look back from where I will go. William Fuller lives and works in Chicago, Ill. His previous books include BYT and THE SUGAR BORDERS (both O Books) and AETHER (Gaz).

In THE SUGAR BORDERS, William Fuller creates a flat space of "middles" which is everywhere, "the cave of all." The viewer is up so close seeing oneself that one's / its "wet muscles repose there." As if one hallucinates oneself having a dream, one sees oneself who's any viewer being the "natural world" where "we" fly and "pigeons sit down to their meal, without bodies." This writing puts pressure on its space to view realistically by its "flat/objective" approach with no view that proscribes or "understands": "The upper part of the world lives on an island, fishing in flames." "Words fall into place, a progressive past tense charting action from its sometimes ominous further reaches to the more immediate almost-present, and where is the future in ritual observation? Does it cast a shadow, leave an echo? Love and the letter of love. But what is the nature of this space between dream, wind, dinner, color and the alphabet? It's our birthday everyday, and "We each get an earth to eat..." in the telescopic syntax of these Sugar Borders. Sugar borders terror where the iridescent dust of verse begins to shake a darker spell out of the bundled predicates. You want to keep opening this book, and opening it." -- Norma Cole "...imagery as perverse and baffling as that constructed in dreams, echoed in folktales and children's rhymes, circulated as magic and superstition... These are poems which create the conditions for an experience of "negative capability." Yes. Small and terrific reversals and contradictions, untenanted space looming through the rifts of images. "I see your bones, your bones see me.""--Beverly Dahlen "If you need to read, take a look at this book." -- Tom Raworth

The title refers to the Russian Constructivists. Fuller's writing has a lucid and at the same time hallucinatory quality as if pressing one's/his reciprocal relations to the world so closely that "they" appear spectrally but exactly: "That this act distorts me is a function, precisely, of your putative silence. Lifted above your head, thought discloses three of us. The street is rutted with life, spectrally washing hand and hand." Poetry.
