Notes on the Possibilities and Attractions of Existence: Selected Poems 1965 - 2000

ANSELM HOLLO

Eccentric, transcultural, learned, and hip, these poems span continents, decades, and galaxies: "any news from Alpha Centauri / they have their own scene there pretty small pretty quiet / a fortnightly newsletter printed on green gas."

Hollo is the author of the previous Coffee House Press poetry titles, Corvus, Outlying Districts, and Pick Up the House. Required reading for students and fans of the masters of modern  poetry, this volume "treads the fine line between farce and pathos," and offers the best work from the past thirty-five years by Anselm Hollo. Wry, sly, and thoroughly enjoyable, this long-awaited retrospective is an important addition to all poetry lovers’ bookshelves.
