Poetry. Edited by Guy Bennett and Paul Vangelisti. SIGNS/ & SIGNALS: THE DAYBOOKS OF ROBERT CROSSON is a facsimile edition of the Los Angeles poet's life-long project of some 117 journals, in which everything drafts of poems, personal correspondence, photographs, flyers, concert programs, work estimates for house-painting and carpentry, bills & every imaginable fragment of his life finds its way into the "daybooks." More than a writer's journal, they are material "proof" of a poet's existence, a careful record of his daily physical and intellectual life; and, as such, much more than his published titles, they constitute Robert Crosson's life's work.
SIGNS/& SIGNALS is first in a series of Otis Books/Seismicity Editions co-publications with the Archive for New Poetry, Mandeville Special Collections Library, UCSD."
