BATTIN- LITTLE APOCALYPSE
BATTIN- LITTLE APOCALYPSE-Wendy Battin doesn't look to nature for metaphors; she looks to it as metaphor. I would say she has a deeply religious imagination, if that adjective weren't now suspect; let me say, instead, that she is, at her best, a quintessentially American poet. She has her eye on origins and ends. -- J.D. McClatchy, The Hudson Review

BLAKE- PERMANENT ADDRESS
BLAKE- PERMANENT ADDRESS-Our dense, intricate world constantly seeks new voices to express its vitality, and in Lorna Knowles Blake it has found a splendid one. The poems in Permanent Address – wistful, intimate, triumphant in their control of language yet always attuned to loss and longing – are the exhilarating example of a consciousness that is fully formed and astonishingly well-equipped to name, measure and celebrate the reality that surrounds it. -- Vijay Seshadri

BRADY- WEAL
BRADY- WEAL-Philip Brady's Weal is the winner of the 1999 Richard Snyder Memorial Publication Prize. Brady offers a sojourner's panoramas and outstanding depth of field. The poems present themselves as majestic, audible, dangerous rivers with live banks... Weal, a word of contradictory geographies, ranging from common good to whiplash scar, rings here around a hundred years of world migrations. This is an unpredictable, demanding, strong book, each poem an exploration. -- Milton Kessler

CHAPMAN- LIGHT THICKENS
CHAPMAN- LIGHT THICKENS- "Reading Elizabeth Biller Chapman's poems is like inhaling draught after draught of perfume, except instead of becoming numb, your sense of smell sharpens. 'Razor clams lie in the cold,creamed honey of their shells.'For pure luxe of language, no one is more adept. Chapman's imagery is stunning." Enid Shomer

GELINEAU- APPETITE FOR THE DIVINE
GELINEAU- APPETITE FOR THE DIVINE “Christine Gelineau has invented a new cosmology in her fascinating, ambitious, multi-part poem, Appetite for the Divine. Questioning contemporary warfare and eco-destruction while praising the green fuse in all that lives, this poet interrogates, celebrates, and re-calibrates our spiritual and cultural values. Gelineau models for us a marvelously poly-voiced poetry, an associative, gently narrative puzzle which allows her to pick through scenes of destruction and illumination toward an idea of a core of holiness in our 21st-century existence. In Appetite for the Divine, Gelineau makes time into the sublime and turns space into grace.”

JACKSON- UNAUTHORIZED AUTOBIOGRAPHY
JACKSON- UNAUTHORIZED AUTOBIOGRAPHY-His lines are witnesses of tremendous density and speed of the more ever powerful NOW in human history. As technology had to adapt to the godhead's voracious needs, so the poets have to eat exactly the same spot with even higher lucidity, more intelligence and compassion to mourn, to understand and to redeem. Richard Jackson does it with more inclusiveness than anybody else I know. His writing helps us to make sense. It protects us against suffocation. It bathes our lives. -- Tomaz Salamun

JACKSON-RESONANCE
JACKSON-RESONANCE- "Richard Jackson has become one of our most important poets. His subjects are those for which poetry originally came into being, The essentials are his songs, his precepts, his adoration, his companions. It isn't any simple solace he offers, but it's solace nonetheless that he lends us." -- James Tate

LOO- STRANGERS IN A HOMELAND
LOO- STRANGERS IN A HOMELAND-Jeffrey Loo's poems are delicately lyrical meditations of great tensile strength - more than enough for their weighty subjects, politics and history. While his own ethnic struggle in and with America informs the writing, his vision is broad, and his inmost focus is not critique but empathy, as evoked by his elegy for Etheridge Knight, a masterpiece. -- David Moolten, author of Plums and Ashes

About the Ashland Poetry Press

The mission of the Ashland Poetry Press is to help top-rate poets in mid-career break through to first or second book publication, and to help mature poets define the best accomplishments of their writing careers through the publication of volumes of selected works.

The Ashland Poetry Press was founded in 1969 by Richard Snyder and Robert McGovern. Since then it has published some 90 volumes of poetry and books about poetry. The press began with the publication of the anthology, 60 on the 60's. In subsequent decades, we published similar anthologies--70 on the 70's, 80 on the 80's, culminating with our end of the millennium volume, And What Rough Beast: Poems at the End of the Century.
