'Roots and Routes' gathers essays, talks, interviews, statements, notes, and other prose writings by poets who studied and/or taught at the New College of California’s Masters in Poetics program over the course of its nearly 30-year existence. The collection evokes a much-needed anti-hierarchical, even anarchic, pedagogy in poetry, poetics, and the literary arts, and is part of a general reevaluation of standard higher education models on Creative Writing. As such it will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars interested in America’s recent literary history, as well as to poets outside the academy and the general reader interested in US poetry and poetics.

Book Description
Mexico features prominently in the literature and personal legends of the Beat writers, from its depiction as an extension of the American frontier in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road to its role as a refuge for writers with criminal pasts like William S. Burroughs. Yet the story of Beat literature and Mexico takes us beyond the movement’s superstars to consider the important roles played by lesser-known female Beat writers. The first book-length study of why the Beats were so fascinated by Mexico and how they represented its culture in their work, this volume examines such canonical figures as Kerouac, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Lamantia, McClure, and Ferlinghetti. It also devotes individual chapters to women such as Margaret Randall, Bonnie Bremser, and Joanne Kyger, who each made Mexico a central setting of their work and interrogated the misogyny they encountered in both American and Mexican culture. The Beats in Mexico not only considers individual Beat writers, but also places them within a larger history of countercultural figures, from D.H. Lawrence to Antonin Artaud to Jim Morrison, who mythologized Mexico as the land of the Aztecs and Maya, where shamanism and psychotropic drugs could take you on a trip far beyond the limits of the American imagination.

Book Description
Conversations with Michael McClure features twenty interviews from 1969 to 2015 that chronicle the capacious scope of McClure’s creativity. McClure (1932–2020) is notable not only for his considerable achievements as a poet and prose writer of the Beat Generation, but also for the many collaborative connections he forged over seven decades. From the 1950s to his death, McClure worked with an astonishing range of important figures in the worlds of painting, filmmaking, music, and science. McClure counted among his friends and acquaintances Bruce Conner, Harold Pinter, Amiri Baraka, Richard Brautigan, Wallace Berman, George Herms, Lawrence Jordan, Dennis Hopper, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Sterling Bunnell, Francis Crick, Gary Snyder, Francesco Clemente, and Diane di Prima. During his early years in San Francisco, McClure attended Kenneth Rexroth’s literary evenings and formed significant lifelong friendships. Among those friends were poets Philip Lamantia and Robert Duncan, who became a mentor to McClure. He also learned much from Charles Olson and adopted several features of Olson’s concept of “Projective Verse” in his own work. McClure’s exchange of letters with experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage lasted for four decades. During his illustrious career, McClure published fourteen books of poetry, eight books of plays, and four collections of essays. Conversations with Michael McClure reveals the many contributions of this central personality in the evolution of the American counterculture.

Book Description
Being a compendium drawn from Ha Jin translations per Li Bai (mostly), but also Du Fu & a host of other poet companions of Bai's appearing in Jin's The Banished Immortal: A Life of Li Bai. My own versions, arriving as I read Jin's biography in preparation of writing a review for Rain Taxi, immediately began taking form dedicated to the memory of poet Tom Clark with whom I studied in the late 1990s. This was after Tom's passing on August 17, 2018, during the following spring as I became involved with helping set up a memorial reading. Thanks to Angelica Clark, I had acquired several more of Tom's many, many books and re-read my way through the vast body of his work. My versions of Jin's translations alter the settings of the originals to a semi-imaginary envisioning of the San Francisco Bay Area. The city itself (where I live with my wife Ava just south of Golden Gate Park) at center, Mt. Tamalpais/Bolinas to the north across the Golden Gate Bridge, the Pacific just to 80 the west, and the Sierras far to the east, with LA distantly to the south. References also began appearing to other poets I studied under, as I had with Tom, in Poetics at New College, Joanne Kyger and David Meltzer, both of whom had likewise recently passed away. In addition, various reference to pals and relationships (often fanciful) of my own from out those years also popped up in the lines now and then. "There is so much feeling in these poems . . . as if we have not been wholly consumed by technology. You have crossed a barrier into the grand poetic voice which we see in Sappho, in the Chinese masters, in The Song of Songs. A truly modern counterpart is John Wieners. I'm simply carried away by the triumph of heartfelt knowledge."--Neeli Cherkovski Poetry.

Book Description
This book examines the role music has played in the formation of the political and national identity of the Bahamas. Timothy Rommen analyzes Bahamian musical life as it has been influenced and shaped by the islands’ location between the United States and the rest of the Caribbean; tourism; and Bahamian colonial and postcolonial history. Focusing on popular music in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, in particular rake-n-scrape and Junkanoo, Rommen finds a Bahamian music that has remained culturally rooted in the local even as it has undergone major transformations. Highlighting the ways entertainers have represented themselves to Bahamians and to tourists, Funky Nassau illustrates the shifting terrain that musicians navigated during the rapid growth of tourism and in the aftermath of independence.
