At Port Royal

Chris Edgar. Adventures in Poetry, $12.5 (74pp) ISBN 978-0-9706250-8-3

Beginning with one of John Ashbery's 10 favorite poems of all time (""Birthday""), At Port Royal is the long-awaited first collection of Christopher Edgar's lyrics. From a set of ""Possible Gothams"" to ""War in a Mousetrap,"" Edgar proposes numerous numinous possibilities for being, based on a form of exchange the book invents as it goes: ""If we trade in this grisalle world, can we get something celadon, or perhaps the mint green of China?""
