FULL-COLOR EDITION OF A POET'S PRESS CLASSIC

Allegretti cover

JOEL ALLEGRETTI. THE PLAGUE PSALMS.

First published in the year 2000 in a hand-bound edition, The Plague Psalms presents a neo-Romantic vision worthy of Baudelaire and Poe: a world haunted by Moorish Spain, the Inquisition, the Black Death, Erik (the Phantom of the Opera), the music of the Oud, and other subjects penitential and pestilential. The book design incorporates wood engravings by Albrecht Durer. This new third edition recreates all the color content of the original.

Joel Allegretti is also the author of three other collections of poetry: Europa/Nippon/New York: Poems/Not-Poems (Poets Wear Prada, 2012); Thrum (Poets Wear Prada, 2010); and Father Silicon (The Poet’s Press, 2006). He also edited the poetry anthology, Rabbit Ears. Allegretti’s poems have appeared in The New York Quarterly, MARGIE, Fulcrum, Voices in Italian Americana, Sentence: A Journal of Prose Poetics, Xcp Cross-Cultural Poetics and many other national journals, as well as in The Best American Poetry blog.

98 pages, with color titles and ornaments. 6 x 9 inches, paperback, ISBN 978-0922558744. CLICK HERE to order the paperback from Amazon.
