The Strugglers is Norman Fischer's fourth book of poetry with Singing Horse Press. Divided into six poetic sequences, "Norman Fischer's new poems … make you stop and think—about everyday life and its sampled commodifications—about global turbulence and local pleasure" (Charles Bernstein).

Questions/Places/Voices/Seasons continues and expands the innovative meditational poetry Norman Fischer has explored in earlier books, and inaugurates a new form of writing in which he inhabits the voices of others.

"The two distinctive sequences that form I WAS BLOWN BACK explore the elusive, even ungraspable, nature of memory, perception and personhood with moving immediacy, and with a modesty of tone that cloaks a striking acuteness." — Michael Palmer

In writing Success, Norman Fischer set for himself the task of composing 28 lines, every day, for a year. What results is a moving portrait of a heart and mind in the world. This selection from the full text includes Fischer”s important essay “Do You Want to Make Something Out of It? Zen Meditation and the artistic impulse."
