Writing with Tagore by Jim Moore. This book of thirty poems is a product of a General Studies Course taught by the printer at the college. The poems were inspired by Tagore's Gitanjali and has an inkjet photograph where you see Moore writing in a notebook on his lap underneath which is the Tagore text. Reading and writing simultaneously! The poems with roman type are section dividers, the color blocks number the sections 1, 2, 3. The italic type poems belong to the header poem that precedes them. The last roman poem, Envoi, is not so much a title as an indication that the book is finished, the author is sending off the reading with this final thought. Edition of 50. $90 Mercredi By Tom Molanphy. Linocut illustration, reprinted from a broadside designed by Jim Trissel. A personal account of Ash Wednesday and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The publication marks the completion of the authorÕs Master of Fine Arts degree.

(6 x 8 inches; 26 pp.) $70 The First Celestial Adventure of Mr. Benzedrine Tristan Tzara. Translated by Elmer Peterson. A visual and verbal extravaganza composed entirely of collage that functions like a simultaneous poem in which the pages explode. The adventure is both playlet and manifesto-the first dada manifesto-and provided, at the time of its writing, examples of a new kind of sound and simultaneous poetry. Here, the characters are identified internally by means of invented icons, and the text follows no rule at all except the rule of variety. Richly illustrated on three kinds of paper. Explorations of dada typography. Letterpress from polymer plates. Exposed spine sewing into thick, printed boards. Edition of 50. $200 The Poem Emerges In her twenty years of teaching at Colorado College, writing instructor Joan Stone has collected the forty poems included herein from her students.
