Poetry. "A BOOK OF CONCEALMENTS is a followup to an earlier hundred-poem work, A BOOK OF WITNESS, with some notable changes in strategy and composition. In A BOOK OF WITNESS I was concentrating on the rescue of the first-person voice as our principal instrument of witness.By contrast the twenty-five poems in this first installment of A BOOK OF CONCEALMENTS suppress the witnessing "I" but draw from my accumulated works by collaging as italicized inserts small fragments of poems already written & published"-Jerome Rotherberg from Author's Not. Handstitched chapbook.
Jerome Rothenberg died in the spring of 2024. He is a renowned and revered poet, performer, translator, anthologist, and more. He has been a key spark in the continuing life of avant-garde literary works, which he links to various spiritual, indigenous, and historical practices. He is particularly known for the anthologies Shaking the Pumpkin, Technicians of the Sacred, America a Prophecy (with George Quasha), and the several volumes of Poems for the Millenium.
