I've had Peter Dale Scott's Coming to Jakarta for a while, but I'm just getting to it in my stack.
First impression is that it's a pretty incredible poem, a pretty incredible book.
I'd be interested to hear what any of you think about it, old news as the book may be. Here's what I've been reading. Bitter Blue by Jeremy Reed. Incidentally, thanks to all who backchannel me with info on Reed, especially Pierre Joris, Ira Lightman, Joel Lewis, Romana Huk, and Ken Edwards. Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.
