Quiet Music of Words

Conversations with Richard Caddel


Published by West House Books 2002

Edition 1st thus

Condition Mint

In keeping with the dictionary definition this conversation between poet and painter is an ‘interchange of thoughts and words’. The fact that the participants have shared a long-standing friendship gives the encounter a depth rarely achieved in published interviews, and provides insights into Richard Caddel’s poetry of use to all readers interested in exploring their own reactions to his work.

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.
