There Were One & It Was Two (nh7


"It's a funny, informative, and freakishly entertaining exploration of the concept of the double--as otherness, as twins, as pairings, as doppelgängers, and so on--in literature, in psychology, in epistemology, in nature, in mythology, and in the serendipitous collisions of all of the above."

Bret McCabe - City Paper 6/07

« Garrett Caples - Surrealism's Bad Rap

"TURNING ON THE TONGUE, INDEED! Garrett Caples replaces all burnt fuses with SURREALISM'S BAD RAP! One of the best CDs by a poet I've ever heard, no shit! I'm listening to it over and over, and want 'Light Sleeper' played at my funeral, or wedding, whichever comes first! By the time you get to 'Puna Baedekker' you won't want to ever jump out a window again, all ye window jumpers, but push the speakers against the screen and blare THIS tuning fork hidden in the Great Porridge American Poem. Live on its incredible, bright fields for a bit, try to tell me I'm wrong!"
--with Godzilla LOVE,

CAConrad, author of DEVIANT PROPULSION (Soft Skull, 2006)

"A ‘spoken word’ album for people who may not generally like ‘spoken word’ albums."

Chris Stroffolino of Continuous Peasant

« Rod Smith - Fear the Sky

"...at just under 71 minutes a full length recording with production values that would make an indie band weep with envy. Smith is the perfect poet for such a project, as he has the most active ear of any writer of his generation & hes a great if decidedly deadpan reader of his own work. Listening to this recording feels like it takes 20 minutes & one is totally engrossed the entire time, as Smith demonstrates a range of affect far wider than Ive heard from him before..."

Ron Silliman

the Rod Smith CD really shows how much this medium aurally illuminates the voice, renders a space for the voice, scopes out a multidimensional use of the voice (voice, in every aspect of the term, itself an essential poetic medium)... developing phenomenologically another layer of poetic experience, beyond poetry on the page and poetry during readings, to poetry through the mic intimately, the voice raised to its own power... cool stuff...
