Counterpath Publishes Matthew Cooperman’s new book, STILL
English | September 06, 2011
Still: Of the Earth as the Ark which Does Not Move attempts that rare “theory of everything,” the implications of which are, it goes on . . . wave upon wave of stuff, categories, speakers, news. Employing quotation, catalogue, a roving, sometimes aerial point of view, and an ingenious use of the colon, Still is at once a formal argument of containment, and the trajectory of twilight-modernity jacked on too much “product.”
Matthew Cooperman is the author of DaZE (Salt, 2006), and A Sacrificial Zinc (Pleiades/LSU, 2001), winner of the Lena-Miles Wever Todd Prize, as well as three chapbooks, Still: (to be) Perpetual (dove | tail poetry, 2007), Words About James (Phylum Press, 2005) and Surge (Kent State University Press, 1999). A founding editor of Quarter After Eight, Cooperman teaches at Colorado State University, where he is a poetry editor of Colorado Review.
