The Scorpions is Robert Kelly's early novel about a psychiatrist who begins to believe one of his patient's paranoid inventions and searches for hard evidence in a funny, crazy, sometimes dark, even spooky American world that cooperates with what he wants to find in it.

"These twenty-five brief tales--written by the poet and fabulist Robert Kelly, and illustrated with ink drawings by the artist Emma Polyakov--are filled with wonder and enchantment for all who are young at heart. There are suitably beguiling personages as well: spectral foxes, a telepathic ape and antelope, shadows that speak, an odd djinn, a feline conductor, an umbrella-loving serpent, protean elves, and many other visions of the ultimate reality just beyond sight. A special limited autograph edition of ten of these tales was issued in 2019. That book has been expanded for this first trade edition, adding fifteen additional tales, each with its own illustration. The tales possess such alluring titles as "The Fox and the Other Side," "The Priest's Peculiar Wife," "The Boy in the Camel," "The Leper's Touch," and "The Girl Who Could Change.""--

Lapis, the philosopher¿s stone, is the legendary substance that alchemists use to turn base metals into gold. Robert Kelly¿s 50-year pursuit of its poetic equivalent¿the words that transform the common things of life into art¿yields the 127 new texts collected here. In these richly varied poems and prose poems¿some occasioned by reading Dickinson and Yeats, visiting churches and art museums, traveling through Austria, France, Italy, and Ireland, and reliving the wounds of childhood and adolescence¿Kelly describes personal experience and, by touching it with memory and imagination, makes it stranger than life itself. He is the diarist as dreamer, and the dreamer as alchemist.The range of Kelly's interests and formal competence is enormous. He is inventive in the way that Picasso was: he can improvise intelligently and imaginatively on anything that strikes his ear, heart, or gaze. Kelly thinks of the poet as a scientist of holistic understanding, a world scholar to whom all data whatsoever is of use.
