About the Book

"The political arrives in pieces, settling across his sprawling poems like dew or debris. Berrigan has always matched his experimental drive with a personable quality." --Boston Globe

Anselm Berrigan's eighth collection of poems, Something for Everybody, is exactly as its title describes. Wide-ranging in forms, densities, and aesthetics--and written from numerous collaborations, prompts, and influences--these poems express poetry's astonishing possibilities. At the same time, they evince this sin- gular poet's consciousness in the here and now, as a family and community member looking at the seams of public life.

For consciousness the world is décor: sentences cast about
For bodies in the exuberant wobble factory Q-Bert believes
In me in the dark to pass out and check yourself out gliding
By storefront windows searching for a feeling no one's felt
In the last twelve seconds lathered with coeval nightmare
Rhetoric of sociable extinction bashful as a wraith eking out
A line of image extract to sprinkle on a plenty reeling mind. . .

Anselm Berrigan is the editor of What is Poetry?
