Poetry. "John Olson is writing the most outlandish, strange, and inventive prose poetry ever in the history of the prose poem. Olson's writing is so agitated with transformation that it can barely contain the skin of its own given language. It is a volcanic, fresh, and scalding rush"--Clayton Eshleman. "A CHIN FULL of seeds and a prelude full of humidity, Huey Woolbright dove into an aberration of narrative fabric and swam to the bottom of a lake looking for yesterday's wrench"--from Immigrant Immersion. John Olson is also the author of ECHO REGIME, which is available from SPD.

John Olson is the author of eight books of poetry and prose poetry, including Backscatter: New and Selected Work, The Night I Dropped Shakespeare on the Cat, Oxbow Kazoo, Free Stream Velocity, Echo Regime, Eggs & Mirrors, Logo Lagoon, and Swarm of Edges.
