A limited edition saddle-stitched chapbook with beautiful cover art by Peter Knapp.
Eliot Cardinaux is a poet, pianist, & composer living in Western MA. Working simultaneously in the fields of both improvised music & experimental poetry, he holds a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Improvisation from the New England Conservatory with a focus on piano, & an MFA in poetry from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he studied under Peter Gizzi, Dara Wier, Ocean Vuong, Cynthia Cruz, Martín Espada, & others. He also taught English & writing there. Eliot writes lyric, & lyric-narrative poems in an impressionistic, imagist style, with a sense of phrasing he has acquired from a long time playing and composing music. He is also the founder of The Bodily Press.
“These are poems responding to war. I’ve written before about the Western world’s willful blindness on the part of disasters occurring outside the supposed frame. These poems grapple with notions of spirit & collapse, & are dedicated to Pierre Joris & Jerome Rothenberg, two poets who have been gracious to me in their support & generous in their work both as translators, & as poets & cultural critics themselves.”
—Eliot Cardinaux
