Poetry. This is the first offering from Futurepoem Books, a new publishing collaborative dedicated to presenting innovative works of contemporary poetry and prose. "A prophetic ferocity joins visceral appetite in Garrett Kalleberg's powerful new collection; spirit and matter couple to spawn a ravishing anxiety, a beautiful disaster...For thosewho wish to go where poetry is rendered as a limitless limit, fretted withknowings and unknowings and their generative inquisitions. Once again, thelife of the mind finds its avatar"—Ann Lauterbach.
