Some thoughts, they have a knack for overstaying. The dinner is done, crumbs swept up, stains blotted liqueurs brought out and drunk dry but you won't look at the door, and I? Who am I to tell you to go when I keep resentment like a fugitive warm & nourished in a spare room?

Sonya Vatomsky, “My heart in aspic,” from Salt Is for Curing

[bostonpoetryslam]

It is what it is; heart packed in cotton balls and stored for winter, or like clothes that no longer fit but still might. You never know — the back of the closet is an optimistic place.

Sonya Vatomsky, “Ouroboros,” from Salt Is for Curing

The recipe called for murder; I did not misread it: 6 SPRINGS FRESH DILL, as much SALT as you can stand, and take a KNIFE to the one that failed you. 1 WHOLE POTATO, 1 WHOLE CARROT. You will not be cold this winter, you will not.

Sonya Vatomsky, “Apotheosis,” from Salt is for Curing

"In Mark Gluth’s beautiful family gothic No Other, the reader encounters a landscape of mood and mystery, burning with a stripped-down pain. Gluth’s sentences devastate in their raw economy, attempting to penetrate the everyday, tracing abbreviated existences struggling to survive through bare seasons." – Kate Zambreno, author of Green Girl & Heroines

"In clipped, incantatory verse shined from whorls somewhere between Gummo and As I Lay Dying, Mark Gluth's No Other invents new ambient psychological terraforma of rare form, a world by turns humid and eerie, nowhere and now, like a blacklight in a locked room." – Blake Butler, author of 300,000,000

"It's devastating." – William Basinski, composer of The Disintegration Loops

“No Other verges […] into something approximating Wittgenstein: each sentence forms an epigrammatic piece that almost stands on its own, were it not to extend, dodge, and nullify the thought before it […] With No Other, Gluth descends from Cooper to align with a revival of Beckettian repetition studded with artifacts of the recognizable present. Here, like a drone song of terrible yet familiar noises extended beyond what seems comfortable or possible, No Other finds a new aesthetic in the durational disassembly of the natural.” – Rain Taxi Review of Books
