Author: Charles Bernstein Publisher: Roof Books (1992) "As the book's title implies, Islets/Irritations is frustrated with personal isolation—but also irritated with 'eyelets,' or any tight limits imposed from the outside. Bernstein attempts to create an inclusive and universal space by transcribing the transpersonal and instantaneous chunks of matter. that surround us in contemporary human society every day. A remarkable and demanding poet, associated with a tendency that may be the foundation for a major change in the way we write and read poetry." –Los Angeles Times Book Review Show more
