Three New Poetry Titles from Omnidawn available at your local bookstore or online at: http://www.omnidawn.com/
(Omnidawn titles are distributed by Independent Publishers Group)
Richard Greenfield :::::: Tracer :::::: 96 pages (5.5" x 8.5" Paper) ISBN: 9781890650384 $15.95 http://www.omnidawn.com/greenfield/index.htm
In Tracer Richard Greenfield targets that site of willed destruction with poems that acknowledge the reality of most Americans, traumatized by far-off killings and maimings, yet still intact: "We can't tell ourselves / from those whose loss is actual." Hope arises from a poetry of bodily and spiritual vulnerabilities where trauma, along with human and natural beauty, seeps in unannounced as such, where speakers are nonetheless invited to grow realized in proximity to unnameable violence. -Jeffrey C. Robinson
Myung Mi Kim :::::: Penury :::::: 128 pages (5.5" x 8.5" Paper) ISBN: 9781890650377 $15.95 http://www.omnidawn.com/kim/index.htm
Publishers Weekly Review:
Avant gardist Kim's fifth book is a diligent inquiry into the relationship between language and power. The poems take place in a wasteland where war and, as the title would suggest, poverty are the norm; immigrants are treated with harsh suspicion and interrogated repeatedly, and Kim's rage at injustice and suffering rings loudly: "[lookout post] / Are these your names/ From we are from where are you from/ Say this may speaking// To burn or expose to the threat of the sun a person with a pigeon chest and protruding stomach." (Reviewed June 15, 2009)
Arthur Rimbaud :::::: Translated by Donald Revell :::::: The Illuminations 120 pages (6" x 9" Paper) French on facing pages ISBN: 9781890650360 $15.95 http://www.omnidawn.com/rimbaud2/index.htm Revell has made these familiar poems no longer familiar, but strange and raw-what a pleasure to be able to discover them all over again! -Cole Swensen
Richard Greenfield, Myung Mi Kim, and Donald Revell will be reading (with the poets Omnidawn will be publishing in Fall 2009) at Moe's Books, Berkeley, CA, on Tuesday November 10th, 2009.

From rob mclennan: On June 1, I started posting on my blog (with a couple of other online hosts thrown in, for good measure) a second series of interviews with Canadian and American (etcetera) poets, fiction and non-fiction writers as the "12 or 20 questions" series, as a follow-up to the original series that ran from September 2007 to June 2008, a series that held 175 interviews with various authors. The second series includes interviews (so far) with Jason Dewinetz, Matthew Tierney, Sandra Ridley, Jacob McArthur Mooney, Carrie Olivia Adams, Dayle Furlong, Antanas Sileika, Sharon Harris, Ken McGoogan, Daniel Allen Cox, J.R. Carpenter, Anita Dolman, Ray Hsu, Karen Houle, Susan Olding, Jeanette Lynes, Asher Ghaffar and Zachariah Wells.
Interviews are still forthcoming with Peter Norman, Eric Baus, Betsy Struthers, Graham Foust, Steven Mayoff, Mike Spry, Kevin Killian, Charles Bernstein, Forrest Gander, Chris Ewart, Andrew Faulkner, Mary Pinkoski, Rebecca Rosenblum, Arielle Greenberg, Peter Richardson, Eva Moran, Ken Sparling, ross priddle, Michelle Berry, Stephen Henighan, Annabel Lyon, and plenty of others.
The series as a whole, with links to invidiaul interviews (to be updated every day or three over the next six months or so), lives here:

About 2,300 persons from more than 60 countries signed our petition to the British Arts Council, but to no avail. Dedalus lost its Arts Council funding in March 2008. Informa Plc, through its subsidiary Routledge Books, then most generously stepped in and gave us sponsorship for two years. That sponsorships ends in March 2010.
Thanks to Routledge Books, Dedalus has been able to continue as before as an alternative to the commercial publishing sector. Since losing our Arts Council annual grant Dedalus won both The Pen/Book-of-the Month-Club Translation Prize in the USA and The Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize in the UK for The Maias by Eca de Queiroz, translated by Margaret Jull Costa. Another of our books, The Bells of Bruges by Georges Rodenbach, translated by Mike Mitchell, was also on the short list of 6 for The Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize in 2008. This year Magnus by Sylvie Germain, translated by Christine Donougher, has been nominated for The American Library Association Notable Book Awards and shortlisted for The Oxford Weidenfeld Translation Prize. We continue to find new English authors of great talent and this year we published two first novels, The Father of Locks by Andrew Killeen and Jeremy Weingard’s Made in Yaroslavl. We have underway new translations, of both classic and contemporary fiction, from Danish, Estonian, Flemish French, German, Norwegian, Portuguese and Spanish. We lost our Arts Council funding after a record year, so it is hard to imagine that we will have access to public funding in the foreseeable future.
If you would like to make a financial contribution to Dedalus, or, ideally, become a Dedalus patron, please contact Eric Lane at info[ at ]dedalusbooks.com or Marie at mariededalus[ at ]aol.com
