Recent Acquisitions

Now that AlteredScale.com 2 (the journal associated with this blog) is up, I will focus my energies, here at least, on other things.

I will continue a series of posts on Pierre Joris' two volumes of selected poems: Breccia and Poasis.

Here are some recent acquisitions. I consider reviews important not only for just-released material, but also for cultural work that has continuing relevance. Some of this stuff is decades old. If you would like me, or someone else, to review your piece of cultural work here, please send it to:

Jefferson Hansen
PO Box 8303
Mpls, MN 55408

You can also send PDF's and links to jh4090@gmail.com.

If you are interested in reviewing any of the below material (or anything else, for that matter), contact me.
