Jesse Glass
Lost Poet: Four Plays
Homeless in America, Dove Hunting, The Lost Poet & Worm A Sexual Opera
Published by BlazeVox 2010
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
’These plays were written over three decades, but sound as though exhaled in a single furnace blast. The blast is Mission Control explaining to America’s Favourite School Teacher why she must be immolated in a space ship for the corporatocracy. It’s Poe’s emanated astral self dictating a coded travelogue of Hell through the porthole of a labia-pink coffin, and King Worm being hailed erect on his golden throne in Bohu Tohu. What we hear, of course, is the blast of Jesse Glass. He has the lyricism of a sociopath, the invention of a polymath, and the pipes of some chthonian bully deity.’ Tom Bradley

Jesse Glass
The Passion of Phineas Gage & Selected Poems
Published by West House & Ahadada Books 2006
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
Jesse Glass’ work has been hailed by poets as diverse as Jerome Rothenberg, William Bronk & Jim Daniels for its insight into human nature and its exploration of forms. He uses collage, fragmentation and Oulipo-like processes along with a keen understanding of poetic forms and traditions that stretches back to Beowulf and beyond. Glass finds his subject matter in larger than life figures like Phineas Gage -- the man whose life was changed in an instant when an iron bar was sent rocketing through his brain in a freak accident -- as well as in ants processing up a wall in time to harpsichord music in order to steal crystals from the inner lip of a cowrie shell.
