Selected Poems

By Bob Perelman

Wesleyan University Press

Bob Perelman's poetry is alternately lyrical, polemical, funny, self-critical and didactic, and consistently engaging. In this, his first selected volume, the author of The Marginalization of Poetry delivers a stunning poetic portrait of late 20th-century America. This volume includes work from all of Perelman's previously published collections.

Reviews

"His poetry often sacrifices heated affects for a sort of plain-spoken irony . . . Perelman deploys a choice set of tonal registers to great effect . . . Many poems work well as 'assays,' genially exposing Janus-faced paranoia and capital like a sort of poker-faced, technocratically versed Ginsberg."—Publishers Weekly
