We’re pleased to announce Paul Genega’s Outtakes: New and Selected Poems 1975-2023 published by Salmon Poetry. Praise for this remarkable book: “Paul Genega’s Outtakes puts the reader on a great journey. You need to be ready to take this journey, as Genega’s road in not paved with gold; rather, it is a pot-holed turnpike, probably somewhere in New Jersey, late night and full of traffic with wise-assed drivers who rather give you the finger as they speed by than wave you into their lane with all the pleasantries. In Outtakes, there are no free passes, so fasten the seat belts, put your hands on the steering wheel, and let Genega’s poems take you around the construction and over a stream as a sliver of sun appears atop the mountains somewhere upstate New York. Outtakes is a standout collection of Genega’s work spanning five decades. It puts Genega in his rightful place as one of America’s most significant poets.”–Paul Rabinowitz, founder and executive director of ARTS by the People, author or truth, love and the lines in between, and The Clay Urn.
