Please read this review of Michael D. Snediker's JONES VERY written by the inimitable H. L. Hix:
internationaltimes.it/urgency/
“Snediker’s Jones Very could serve as a proof-text for Lyn Hejinian’s observation that ‘The desire to tell within the conditions of a discontinuous consciousness seems to constitute the original situation of the poem.’ Its sentences accumulate the way David Markson’s sentences accumulate in Wittgenstein’s Mistress. I experience them according to the curious epigraph to the ‘Notes’ section of the book, attributed there to Hopkins: ‘I do not believe school is from schola viz. σχολή, but the Teuton word meaning assemblage, collection, as shoal, a school of whales shell (in a school of form).’ Just so do Snediker’s sentences school; just so do they school me.” —​H.L. Hix, "Urgency," International Times, November 23, 2024

Introducing JONES VERY by Michael D. Snediker
✨
From what do we assemble ourselves, of what fervors is that scene of us comprised? Jones Very—named after Ralph Waldo Emerson’s haunted acolyte—is an ecology of oxymel and abacus....

Introducing AN INCH THICK by Theo Ellin Ballew
✨
AN INCH THICK is a future-mythic life story in lullaby, peopled by punkish attempts to bind and measure and hold still (attempts egged on by the memory of their impossibility).

Front cover of AN INCH THICK by Theo Ellin Ballew has a grid of green dancing flying figures against a reddish brown field.

from Intaglio Daughters, Laynie Browne's homage to Lyn Hejinian
You disappear into a duration I wrote what I remembered of our meeting then placed my face inside notebook close to the lettering until words touched my cheek and all other sounds dimmed—strawsong, pulling Queries, red-wrapped A lovely cubicle we enter Appetites, compartments, rubbing against interruption, distraction Sorry, lorry and slurry, we come apart Message cures curvature Finally I’m convinced: pinpricks, lines, hooks You persevere into pulsation
