Organic Furniture Cellar: Works on Paper 2002-2004

Poetry. "These poetic constellations are places to inhabit and shifting possibilities for meaning. Jessica Smith rounds every corner with another corner. ORGANIC FURNITURE CELLAR is the future in a now"--Charles Bernstein. "Jessica Smith's ORGANIC FURNITURE CELLAR takes on big issues, such as how to write about the place where you live with all its distractions, beauties, and limitations intact. And she writes out of these questions a beautifully fragmented series of page aware poems. A stunning and necessary first book"--Juliana Spahr. Jessica Smith refuses to write like lyric poets, who merely rearrange the furniture of language in their rooms; instead, she makes her language skid 'every which way' like an office chair kicked across a parquet floor"--Christian Bok.
