Ott, Public Domain (Poets & Potes, 1989) One of the greats. 20th anniversary + Mel Ott centennial = original cover price ($8.50), while supplies last. The first poem:

In darkn

When your eyes / to gain’s distracting / blur the fearful / pull of your mate past ease

strain on the road hope / that place your mind only / accomodates hemorrhage

sweet to the edge or ignorance / potent dulce / grips the wheel, to yourself / reddening

may ask the cause / of your trouble

within the germ / a tear, strange to you and past / your thin / nerve driven.

Olson, Proprioception = Writing 6 (Four Seasons Foundation, 1965) $10
