Poetry. Winner of the 42 Miles Press Poetry Award, Bill Rasmovicz's second full-length book of poems, GROSS ARDOR, focuses on a faith in the alchemy of the imagination. The book is post-apocalyptic in tone, but its incantatory rhythms and perceptual particularities, as they unfold line by line, create a continuously vibrant sense of the phenomenological, the subconscious as a loosely associative narrative that feels, one might say, breathed into existence. It is a visionary and transformative work in which the musicality of language becomes inseparable from the thinking that creates it, and the reader merges with this ongoing depiction of whatever might be said to constitute the world, a voice so urgent and fluid we become one with the book's central guiding consciousness. GROSS ARDOR is a truly mesmerizing performance.
"'Where have all the alchemists gone? We need them,' writes Bill Rasmovicz in 'The Mastery of Moving On.' Yet Bill Rasmovicz is himself an alchemist, turning the leaden stuff of urban life into the gold of consciousness. Ruthlessly quotidian but not taxed by the commonplace, GROSS ARDOR is a book of poems whose dry heat burns from every page."—Natasha Sajé
Gross Ardor Bill Rasmovicz Books
The speaker of Bill Rasmovicz's Gross Ardor is a special breed of curator, reaching gracefully yet frenetically into his own microculture of what Franz Wright once called three pounds of haunted meat, and haunted feels like an appropriate word. There's a momentum throughout that feels like a poltergeist slowly tearing itself apart but gathering steam. The familiar but slightly grainy, through-a-mirror-dimly world of this book is always raining and all too aware that the `meat chaos' of ourselves is only one layer in the future fossil record. I keep thinking the cover is remarkably apt, the entire collection seeming bone-hard in the most delicate way possible, fragile with madness but cut with an almost drug-induced focus and precision. This culture warrior commits seppuku and reflects solemnly on not only his own mortality but the concrete yet ungraspable concept of a lifespan.Every poem is an endeavor of introspection, the speaker who wears his heart on his rust belt achieving the masterful effect of affecting an unconscious touch to every interstitial image and head-drowning associative leap. The result is earnest, sadly funny, confident and searching, the haunted meat put the warned-against one time too many through the grinder. In an already unbelievably strong catalog from the young 42 Miles Press, a brilliant offering of a book.

Gross Ardor Bill Rasmovicz Books Reviews
This is the kind of poetry that you read, reread, read out loud and then loan to friends. It's incredible, beautiful and thought provoking. ) The imagery is so strong that you picture everything that you see. The cover, with the hummingbird skeleton is a great tie in with one of the poem in the book. I won't spoil it for you. To continue it well worth buying a couple of copies. One for yourself and the other for gifts.
