Chris Glomski is the author of Transparencies Lifted from Noon (MEB / Spuyten Duyvil, 2005) and a previous poetry chapbook, IL LA, from Noemi Press (2002). He has published translations of Italian poets Francesco Giuntini, Maura del Serra, and Eugenio Montale. He lives in Chicago's East Ukranian Village neighborhood.
Eidolon is Chris Glomski's first collection since his 2005 book Transparencies Lifted from Noon. Eidolon: an image or representation of an idea; a representation of an ideal form; an apparition of some actual or imaginary entity, or of some aspect of reality. Glomski's book blends New York School aesthetic and wit with a certain je ne sais quois to create a unique style of his own.
The book was designed and executed by Dexterity Press in Chicago in September 2008.
This project is partially supported by a Community Arts Assistance Program grant from the city of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
