Fine. 30 poems, totaling one hour and thirteen minutes. Jack Kerouac called Howard Hart "Brother -- Poet -- Ecstatic." Tom Clark says, "Howard Hart's best poems...sound like nothing so much as (Charlie) Parker playing a solo on a slow ballad: They establish a melody, linger to savor it, embellish it, vary on it, gradually build a whole new melody, and then end in an unpredictable flourish akin to a bop tag...Just as Hart contributes his own intricate time sense and gifts of ear, however, he also introduces polychromatic tonalities of image that are absolutely singular...it's like the Koran...its distinction as sound and rhythm." The CD is new, shrinkwrapped & unplayed. From the liner notes: "THE POET OLDS THE SOUL WHILE DANCING / EMBRACING SOMEONE CALLED YOU..." "The open heart recognized only in its closures..." mysterious, melodic, laughing, illuminated FREE -- "to see feel...rare...strange..." to hear the river of ecstasy under the ordinary, the everyday. Forget about "Beat" or "Jazz," or anything known. Howard Hart's poetry is coins falling from the sky, communion, a gift exchanged between "Poet" & "Listener," its essential enlightenment being that there is no poet or listener, that a poet is one who FEELS and OPENS, not some dry laborer of academia & aesthetics, or even art. As he says in HALF NOTE, a poem from his 1964 book The Sky of Orange Whispers: since poetry is the only nightclub where anything can happen let's take a look at it if you go to the right you're wrong if you go to the left you're incorrect if you go straight you're a fool poetry is a swimming pool no it's a diving board this drink is so good I could dive right into it you've got to avoid the ice cube Personal, funky, elusive, funny, erudite, mystical, simple -- these are some of the most rich and readable poems in American English -- unclassifiable, brilliant, scintillating, subtle, and most of all, refreshing... "The purest water one can drink..." and as Heraclitus says never the same waters twice. Quick changes linger like smoke, or rhythmlyrical space, as profound and transcendent as they are energetic & cinematic." ~~ armour garland
	[004151] Hart, Howard. Selected Poems: Six Sets 1951 to 1983. Berkeley, CA: City Miner Books, 1987. First Edition. Wrappers. Fine. 88 pages. From the back cover: "Howard Hart's poems inhabit that exotic place where color, music, and modern psychological landscape meet. From Chagall to Paul Klee, from Mozart to Charlie Parker, from Hiroshima to midtown Manhattan, Selected Poems creates a highly lyrical, almost cinematic context from which to interpret contemporary American experience. At once real and surreal, tender and biting, sophisticated and yet accessible, these poems broaden our definition of reality." "In the fall of 1957 Howard Hart, Philip Lamantia, Jack Kerouac, and myself gave the first jazz poetry reading in New York City. The publication of this exquisite selection from thre decades of Howard's work will finally bring him the recognition he has always had in our hearts." -- David Amram.
