Poetry. Funhouse Press' reissuing of MEMORIAL DAY brings this classic collaboration between Anne Waldman and Ted Berrigan back into print in a stand-alone volume. The two poets alternate sections, incorporating lists, bits of dialogue, biography, and entire poems-one of Berrigan's famous sonnets appears in its entirety-to engage with the topics of death and memorial (and a bunch of other things along the way). What results is a sequence that feels both vast and exquisitely specific, building up momentum until its final, climactic section: "& Now the book is closed/The windows are closed/The door is closed/The house is closed/The bars are closed.," the poets write (and would read at poetry readings, alternating lines, to stunning effect). This edition also features a beautiful cover drawing by Zachary Wollard.
