Publishers Weekly Looks Forward to Fall Books by Henri Michaux & Lisa Robertson, Among Others

Publishers Weekly shares their top-10 forthcoming fall books, which include some Putlizer Prize-winning poets and Lisa Robertson's Cinema of the Present (Coach House 2014), "a book-length poem...that interrogates the contemporary sense of self through a montage of observations and questions."

Another one they mention is Henri Michaux's Thousand Times Broken: Three Books, translated by Gillian Conoley and due out from City Lights. These are "works Henri Michaux completed between 1956 and 1959. This period was the height of Michaux’s experimentation with mescaline, and we also find illustrations from him, as well as the inimitable Roberto Matta." The full list of what PW can't wait to read:
