About the Book

"Puma Perl is a remarkable poet and an exciting performer. Retrograde is a true contemporary masterpiece." - John Sinclair, poet, jazz and blues historian, former manager of the MC5, radio host, and political activist. With "Retrograde", Puma Perl goes back in time in order to move forward --- and what a trip this proves to be. This is a journey of living and survival among the ghosts and dreams of a past captured with full honesty and sharp humor (sometimes self-deprecating, other times pinning the tail on absurdity.) Funny, smart, dirty yet tender, Puma Perl brings the descriptive eye of Lou Reed to her apocalyptic rock and roll vision of the world.

Review :
"I haven't felt this way about a book of poems or a poet since the first time I read Charles Bukowski back in the 70's...This is one of the strongest, most surprising, and sublimely splendid collections of poetry I have ever read." --Today's Book of Poetry "Retrograde is a true rush...An extremely authentic and unsentimental look at the gritty and dangerous New York that has since been glamourized, mourned and burnt beyond recognition into the realm of cultural mythology."-- The Villager "Perl reminds me in some ways of Ginsberg. Both weave the immediate into their work as documentary evidence. Both have a desire to somehow sing to an audience of their peers. Both have motifs...talisman symbols that speak to core experience."--Mon Egg Review "Absolutely gut wrenching, achingly beautiful. bittersweet and painfully true. Puma seems to have written this in her own blood not from what bled out but from what she ripped out from deep inside. You will recognize yourself in this book. She makes no observations, she relates experiences. She runs the gamut of hustling, scoring, cooking and shooting, the beauty and ugliness of the high and fall, and you begin it all again but never told as a victim only as a survivor and winner."--Steel Notes Magazine "The collection moves through time, whether it's looking toward a dangerous past, a muddy future, or a bleak present; it is a study in how humanity changes yet stays stationary. Perl draws divine inspiration from Elizabeth Bishop, as the sense of loss permeates between every line, syllable, and period...portraying American city life in all its unglamorous, gritty glory." -- Luna Luna
