It's Really Here: Aerial Magazine Devotes Entire Issue to Lyn Hejinian

"It was a message of happiness by which we were called into the room, / as if to receive a birthday present given early": Quite. Yes, the highly, highly anticipated, long-, long-awaited issue of Aerial 10--devoted entirely to the work of Lyn Hejinian and published by Edge Books--has arrived. Edited over the past decade by Rod Smith and Jen Hofer, with cover art by Tom Raworth, the magazine's contents will prove most valuable to Hejinian scholars and students alike. Featuring work by Hejinian as well as solicited and previously published contributions about her poetry and poetics from the likes of Jean Day, Carla Harryman, Lisa Robertson, Leslie Scalapino, Anne Tardos, and more, this will be a must-read.

A career-spanning multi-genre compendium of work by and about poet Lyn Hejinian, one of today's most celebrated and influential avant-gardists. Through a variety of approaches--philosophical, scholarly, and experimental--Aerial 10 documents and explores her forty-plus years of poetic and theoretical writings. 464 pages of poetry, essays, interviews, and letters by Hejinian, as well as essays, poetry, and collaborations by contemporary poets and critics.
