Moe Asch: a Speculative Life in Verse: And Other Poems

By Benjamin Goluboff

Witty and weird, Benjamin Goluboff's Moe Asch poems are a delight. With lean precision, Goluboff brings alive a seminal figure in the recording industry. History speaks. The music lives.

-Jeffery Renard Allen, author, Fat Time and Other Stores

Ben Goluboff's Moe Asch crashes like a wave of lyrical inventiveness upon the edges of the page; he invites the reader to look at Asch as a cipher, both within history and untethered from it. The poems that follow Moe's part of the collection widen the lens: from archival vignettes to urban meditations, from nineteenth-century portraitist G.P.A. Healy to the Hebrew cemetery at Sheboygan. These are poems informed by history's shaping force as well as by its cruel erasures.

-Davis Schneiderman, author, Drain
