Summary:

A capacious tent of splendor in a gender veldt, "Agenda Melt," Elmslie's third book with visuals by Trevor Winkfield, juxtaposes new poems and theatre lyrics culled from his musicals: "The Grass Harp," cult classic, and three works-in-progress-"Lola," "Night Emerald," and "Lingo Land," a revue of his songs and poems in which he is slated to make his off-Broadway debut. His recent books include "Cyberspace" (Granary Books) and "Snippets" (Tibor de Nagy Editions), both with Winkfield artwork, "Blast from the Past" (Skanky Possum Press), "Postcards on Parade," a musical play (Bamberger Books) and "Routine Disruptions" (Coffee House Press). "There's a lot of heart in his poems-really these songs, because they come from a ranging mastery of everything from classical opera to old-time Country Western. Kenward Elmslie tells the insistent tales of our tribe with great humor and seemingly endless invention."-Robert Creeley.
