POETS OF THE WEEK

   ~ This week's featured poets are: DURENDA and CHAD PREVOST:

   DUREND a (Nashville, Tennessee) has been published in Identity
   Theory, Cornell's Rainy Day, and Zygote In My Coffee, among others.
   She is queer and vegan. She has been praised by Stellasue Lee Ph.D.
   who is the Editor Emeritus of Rattle and was nominated for a Pulitzer
   Prize in poetry.

   CHAD PREVOST (Chattanooga, Tennessee) was born in Marin General
   Hospital in Fairfax, California and divided his childhood between
   there and Chicago, Morgantown, Phoenix, and Richmond. Prevost is the
   offspring of Mr. Mississippi College 1968 and The Queen of the Forest
   Beauty Pageant 1967. In other words, genetics alone might have
   suggested Prevost was destined for success as an all-around
   personable, high-achieving, handsome young man. He is the author of
   previous collection of poems, editor of an anthology, co-founder of
   C&R Press and Terminus Magazine, and he teaches at Lee University
   near Chattanooga, TN.

POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE

   Featured this week in the Poets of the Week Books section of the PSH 
   Bookstore:

   ALARM by MIKE DAILY (Book and Double CD Set)

   This double CD and accompanying 212 page novel is a package, a 
   gripping excursion of spoken word and experimental sounds that delves 
   deeply into the broken mess of a society that is all-consuming but 
   seems to need nothing. Told from two different but simultaneously 
   engaged perspectives, this lyrically dense and aurally compelling 
   collection of songs is a soundtrack abstract, a cohesive yet jagged 
   splicing of stark voices, flits, buzzes, instruments and found sounds 
   that evoke time and place, while instinctively reflecting the 
   ever-changing perspective of the narrator(s). The first CD is studio 
   recordings, offering a more controlled environment that allows the 
   density of the words to run free on the palate, jutting in and out 
   while matching inflexion with the various percussive background 
   elements. The second disc is a field recording, a live 
   semi-improvised set that adds a raw element to the songs and provides 
   ever ascending levels of grit and intensity. Filled with humor, wit, 
   and a frightening comfort, this multifaceted collection is a spot-on 
   dedication to modern life and its charmingly fastidious tendencies.

   Paperback/Double CD Set, 212 pages, published by Stovepiper Books
   Media, (June, 2007)
