Rehearsing the Symptoms

by Rosmarie Waldrop

33 pages, perfect bound.
Limited edition of 150 copies.
Published in March 2019.

"The hand gets ready to write. Could we not call this manual labor? Or a stage in the Great Work of rendering the corporeal cat incorporeal while giving her body to the bodiless word? Even if it's from despairing of my own body?" This riveting suite of poems tackles the big questions that come with existing on this odd, old world. It's worth the trip. Cover collage by Keith Waldrop.

The Meteor

by James Tate

44 pages, perfect bound
letterpress cover printed in metallic silver and fireball red.
Limited edition of 336 copies.
Published April 2016

James Tate, who passed away in July 2015, left the world with unpublished work, and we are lucky enough to share these poems with you. In these nineteen never-before-published poems, Tate's genius is apparent as he navigates a confusing world filled with peculiar people who act on unfathomable desires. Measuring a handsome 11.75" high by 7" wide, The Meteor is filled with poems that fall through the sky into your consciousness. After that, it's anybody's guess where they end up.

Published in April 2016. The Meteor launched at an April 23, 2016 tribute event, featuring over two dozen poets who came from around the country to read Tate's poetry and present talks, films, and music in honor of this great poet. See more about Rain Taxi’s celebration of James Tate HERE.
