20TH
ANNIVERSARY BOXED SET
The
Last Believer in Words (translations, 1998) "This
is a magical anthology of the best of Poetry East." "This
book forces the reader to recognize poetry is as close to prayer as
the written word can get." "(An)
unmitigated joy in this moment trembling fearfully on the threshold
of the year 2000."

Blue
Moves is Volume I in the East of Eden series. Recorded
in First Baptist Church in Port Townsend, Washington, Sam Hamill and
jazz musicians Paul Herder and Michael Phillips record a soulful collection
of poems where the music becomes the lifeblood of the poems in performance.
Pretend
is Volume II in the East of Eden series and features 31 poems
and accompanying text from Jack Grapes. Renowned for his rare combination
of erudition, accessibility, and humanity, Jack Grapes is perhaps the
only poet in America to earn his living teaching privately to students
in his home.
Poet's
Walking Iris is Volume III in the East of Eden series.
This collection includes 20 recorded poems written in the years following
the death of the poet's son and presented on audio CD for the first
time. Poet's Walking Iris also inclues a booklet with original
paintings by Shelly Wagner. 
The
Mirror Flashes in the Waves Cup is Volume IV in the East of
Eden series. This collection includes 35 recorded poems and accompanying
text from James Armstrong. The author of Monument in a Summer Hat
from New Issues Press, James Armstrong studied anthropology, worked
as a cigar salesman, and wrote for newspapers before turning to poetry.
