In the Works (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781890311506)

Doug Lang's IN THE WORKS unites the charm of Robert Creeley, the energy and grace of Charlie Parker, and the urbane sophistication of John Ashbery with an inventive and original sensibility unlike anything in contemporary poetry. Writes Anselm Berrigan: "Doug Lang's poems are the only poems that matter, the only poems to undo matter and matter's semolina mango afore the great splatter. As the great Patrick Ewing told his boys once he made the NBA & played against Larry Bird for the first time, this motherfucker is the Truth!"
