A reissue of Michael Palemer's poetry notebook first published in 1999
and now considered a classic of the genre of poet's prose.
In The Danish Notebook Michael Palmer sets out to discover which images
and designs will appear when his reflections (on poetry, collaboration,
work, travel) and memories (of chance meetings, conversations among
friends, books read and movies seen) are set down on paper. The result
is part memoir, part correspondence, travel diary, and poetic essay.
Moving from the streets of Paris and San Francisco to the top of a
Hawaiian volcano, it reveals a rare, personal look at one of the most
original and influential poets of our time.
