About this product
Product Information
Complex Sleep, Tony Tost's ambitious second book of poems, leaps upward with an astounding multiplicity of voices, utterances, and bursts. Each leap marks a sure and precise entry into a world of images, ideas, and sensations that is brand new - the true accomplishment of any poetic work. audacious in scope, swiping at meaning via language as fragmented music. Tost takes on the problem of physical shape, reorchestrates phrases according to the alphabet, and writes himself into the hypnagogic state between waking and dreaming. Informed by their own procedural constraints, these poems invent forms that tap the unconscious poetic, the very complexity embodied in sleep. All the while, Tost reforms utterance beyond the mere epistemology of much contemporary poetry. discovering the what, Complex Sleep is about discovering how to say what needs to be said. Skip the opera, this book performs.

Reviews
"Like none other, Tony Tost conceals himself above the page ('a bird over the battlefield' of poetry) and watches as the poem unfolds on its own terms, like a tree contained in its seed. Tost also planted the seed, of course, and what's inside is 'a balance in the realism' that contains the bird's song, about to turn into the poet's magisterial recitation. And in Tost's revolutionary title poem, 'Complex Sleep,' the revolving of day and night becomes the inevitable 'dear repetition' of all we know: the alphabet sings, literally a to z."-David Rosenberg, coauthor,The Book of J(with Harold Bloom) andSee What You Think: Critical Essays for the Next Avant-Garde, "This reflexive and, yes, complex collection of procedurally nuanced anti-lyrics is a useful example of what is happening right now. Tostrs"s approach is speechy and textual by turns. He hypnotizes you with his tricks but then convinces you to concentrate on how good the work is.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
