REVIEW OF GEOFFREY O'BRIEN'S NEW MARSH HAWK PRESS BOOK!

Norman Finkelstein reviews Geoffrey O'Brien's HOW WORDS CAST THEIR SPELL ON A POET -- the first book to come out of Marsh Hawk Press' "Chapter One" series!  You can see the review at Hyperallergic, but here's an excerpt:

A longtime writer for the New York Review of Books, O’Brien is the author of eight volumes of poetry as well as numerous books on film, popular music, and the art of reading. Here, he trains his sensitive, meticulous instruments of attention and his eloquent prose style upon his own poetic origins. This is, as he writes in the introductory poem, “not about wanting to be a poet / or trying to become a poet.” Rather, “The question here was only / where did poetry come from in a single random life / …haunted like a house by what is overheard / a transience perpetually surviving.”

"CHAPTER ONE" RELEASES FIRST BOOK!

From today’s issue of Critical Notes: The Latest News and Reviews From National Book Critics Circle Members:

Sandy McIntosh, an NBCC member and the publisher of Marsh Hawk Press, announced the publication of Where Did Poetry Come From by Geoffrey O’Brien, the first volume in Marsh Hawk’s series of books tied to its Chapter One: On Becoming a Poet project. The project features the memoirs of outstanding poets from diverse backgrounds, recalling the ways by which they found their start as writers. While creative writing programs seek to develop the talents of maturing writers, recondite but essential information about the development of the writing craft will be discovered in the early memoirs—the Chapter Ones—of established poets published in this series. Each month, the press publishes an original essay, eventually to be collected in an anthology.

"MAKING THE NOVEL"

Eileen R. Tabios has created a new project focused on the arduity of "MAKING THE NOVEL." The project presents excerpts from novels in three categories:

1) from unpublished or in-progress novels;

2) deleted excerpts from published versions of novels; and

3) from "failed" novels (as defined by their writers).

Participants in the inaugural release include Marsh Hawkers Martha King, Sandy McIntosh, and Eileen R. Tabios.
