Out now from Stalking Horse Press! Robert Gibbons’ beautiful poetry collection UNDER THE GREAT DIVIDE WITH ED DORN in hardcover and paperback.

When I first encountered Ed Dorn’s ‘Gunslinger’ I was changed. So it felt like a piece of great fortune to have Robert send this to the press, and it has the blessing of Jennifer Dunbar Dorn.

I'm honored that Robert Gibbons' UNDER THE GREAT DIVIDE WITH ED DORN is the first Stalking Horse Press publication for our 10th Anniversary. The collection publishes in May, and I'll be catching up with folks for advance review copies imminently - and please feel free to drop me a line or a comment if you'd like to write about it!

Robert Gibbons’ poetic seam runs from Black Mountain and the Beats, touching plateaus of elegy and ecstasy, coal and black vinyl jazz, war and supermarkets, basements of psyche and ragged peaks. It's as if this New Englander sees the territory of the West and its equally rugged inhabitants for the first time with fresh, astonished eyes.

From Colfax Avenue in Denver to abandoned town site of Manhattan, Colorado to the Garden of the Gods, we witness the accompanying population of Little People, Irish miners going back over a century before, or Native American guide knowingly pointing the way. Gibbons is no tourist. Seems right at home here, despite his ten-month only stay. Admits he's no tenderfoot reading the back window of a passing car warning it's protected by a 45 caliber automatic C**t pistol. Ultimately, although no longer still there, the great poet of the West, Ed Dorn, becomes his mentor from the grave.

Rounded out by an original personal essay on the power and importance of Ed Dorn for the present poet, Gibbons has produced a vital, eclectic, intimate, and radical collection.

We're all a-frenzy at Stalking Horse Towers because the ink is dry on our contract with to publish STRANGLELOVE COUNTRY: SCIENCE FICTION, FILMOSOPHY, AND THE KUBRICKIAN CONSCIOUSNESS in November 2024!
The second book by the great Dr. Wilson for Stalking Horse Press, Strangelove Country unpacks the transmutations of desire and the sublime, mediated dreamworlds constructed by an aggressive technoculture. This radical text is as much about the filmmaker's mind as it is his films, and excavates - like a monolith discovered on the moon - the inner space of Kubrick's science fiction.
Onwards into year 10!

'Here' at , the ink is dry on our contract with the remarkable whose 'The Faces of Pluto' will publish in 2024 - it's a strange, intense, beautiful literary work, and we look forward to sharing it with you. Thanks also to of for putting us in touch about the ms. More soon!

"Libraries can no longer burn; they are already in the air. The perfect facsimile of all surviving books is easy and instantaneous. The activity of hording has been mechanised, and the extraction of text has become a matter of automated reading. There is nothing left for admirers of truth or accuracy but submission to the absolute, unalterable veracity of the text. We resign ourselves to becoming the footnotes, say they, and are transformed into little textual engines themselves.
The work of the scribe, an entire profession, has at last been relinquished. Books will not be saved by laborious recopying. No scholar will carefully transcribe words before the paper, papyrus, or stone on which they are printed, is lost.
The Faces of Pluto occupies this relinquished space. It recalls an earlier time when truth was a casualty of transcription and errors were commonplace if not an art in themselves. It returns something to reading and to writing of the mechanics of picking up, turning over, and distorting, if not catastrophically over-looking books which were left to rot, or would be remembered only in fragments. From Empedocles to Borges, from Thomas Browne to Herodotus and back again, it resurrects the fecundity of error and the compiler’s fancy.
Roving freely between the works of a diverse range of dead assemblers—compilers of words, of wisdoms, and of bones—The Faces of Pluto gathers and reinscribes the work of those ancients and the not so ancient, in an extended meditation on death, (re)burial, and remembrance."
