The Osiris Poems

A collection of Simon Perchik's poems published between 1993-2016 in the international poetry journal Osiris. This is the first book by the new publishing house boxofchalk. "Simon Perchik's extraordinary lyric talent is one of the best kept secrets in contemporary American poetry . . . surreal leaps orchestrate very personal material into archetypal configurations that approach transcendence." -Edward Butscher, Confrontation "Perchik is the most widely published unknown poet in America. . . . Often dense, often difficult, Perchik's poems nevertheless lead to strange, unanticipated conclusions that usually reward the pursuit." -Library Journal "Let others jockey for position. Perchik's poems are obdurant and honest and will reach those who need them most." -James Tate
