The Osiris Poems

by Simon Perchik

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
