[C-SP03] Little, Jeffrey. The Book of Arcana: Tomorrow's Stone Age Cosmology Today. Minneapolis, MN: Spout Press, 2002. First Edition. Wrappers. Fine. Dan Raphael praised this book, saying, "Jeffrey Little's poems are aburst with incredible juxtapositions of images/words in each line -- Groucho-like barrage of language sparking memories & connotations to feel them inter-react. This rapidly shifting dynamism works because the poems are rooted in a sense of situation back-lit with emotional resonance. I'm going to get a second copy of this book and cut the poems into 365 pieces so I can have a hit of this wonder-full linguistic energy every day of the year." 78 pages, attractively bound into glossy illustrated wrappers. A new, unread copy. $9.95

[C-SP01] Little, Jeffrey. The Hotel Sterno: Poems. Minneapolis, MN: Spout Press, 2000. First Edition. Wrappers. Fine. Praise on the back cover from John M. Bennett, who says, "These poems are deeply rooted in the swarming materiality of human culture and of the human body. Marvelous, disturbing, transcendent, Little's unique, charged voice asserts and integrates itself within these driving, innovative poems; there is an authenic 'communication between the cells' here, not only within the oems, but between them and any reader fortunate enough to encounter them." 55 pages, attractively bound into glossy illustrated wrappers. A new, unread copy. $6.95

[C-SP06] Broderson, Lucille. Beware: Twenty Poems. Minneapolis, MN: Spout Press, 2002. First Edition. Wrappers. Fine. Speaking of this collection of poems, Andrew Hudgins said, "Lucille Broderson says that, like the almond tree in later summer, 'I didn't know either that time would come.' She may not have known that time and age were coming, but now that they are here she meditates on them with eloquent clarity, weighing with beautiful judiciousness the vibrant presence of life with the losses that accrue with time. Her vision is unflinching, and her heart is large enough to encompass, barely, her vision." 34 pages, attractively bound into glossy illustrated wrappers. A new, unread copy. $6.00
