ANDE- INSTRUCTIONS FOR WALKING ON WATER

Item Description

ANDE- INSTRUCTIONS FOR WALKING ON WATER- 2000 winner of the Richard Snyder Memorial Publication Prize. Jan Lee Ande gives us poems lush with "the sloe swarthiness of raven and crow." She pays reverent attention to "all creatures tumbling under the canopy of clouds." Her spirit-masters are Hildegarde of Bingen, Whitman, Lorca, Rilke, but her voice is vibrantly her own. Ande is a wonder-worker, and her book pure magic, poems that discover glory in the dirt of our days, transcendence in the stony creekbeds, angels splashing in the community swimming pool, heaven and Nirvana blossoming here, right before our eyes. -- David Citino

ANDERSON- CRAWLERS

Item Description

ANDERSON- CRAWLERS-Crawlers is the co-winner of the 2005 Robert McGovern Publication Prize. The poems in Nathalie Anderson's Crawlers explore family, in its traditional sense and as a metaphor for the relationships of the world at large, mining dark and complicated truths. Anderson's imagery is densely beautiful, disarmingly rich. Hers is an expansive and generous poetry - desperately moving, meticulously crafted. -- Denise Duhamel Crawlers is the co-winner of the 2005 Robert McGovern Publication Prize.

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

BRADY- TO PROVE MY BLOOD

Item Description

BRADY- TO PROVE MY BLOOD-In prose richer than most poetry, Phillip Brady proves that to go forward you go back. To sneak up on easeful death, you go back to primeval Brooklyn, mythological Ireland, equatorial Africa, ancient Greece. There are no straightforward chronologies here; instead, Brady executes a string of backward flips during which he repeatedly sings his own dirge. What a performance. What a bite out of life! --John Vernon, author of A Book of Reasons

The Housing, in its double duty as noun and verb, perfectly articulates both the material contents and the strategic habits of these poems. The poet explores issues of search and solitude, stability and instability, home and homelessness, and how the simple abrasions of the world will reveal what it means to be an in-dweller and an outcast. --Eamon Grennan

She is a poet of harsh luminosity, spiritual alertness, who has been growing into the fully realized artist she was always meant to become."—Edward Hirsch

GELINEAU- REMORSELESS LOYALTY-Whether confronting heavy matters close to home and family, taking in gritty facets of the urban landscape, or bringing to sympathetic light anonymous, mainly female workers in the shadows and giving each her moment of perfectly articulated presence, Maria Terrone's poems are quietly insistent, recuperative acts of imagination. At times spiced by a wry humor, at times opening to small toughes of rapture ("I rise daily, a miracle"), A Secret Room in Fall suggests a world that is one "dense, resplendent cargo," of which the poet takes exacting, loving stock. -- Eamon Grennan

Item Description

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.”

GROSSBERG- UNDERWATER LENGTHS IN A SINGLE BREATH

Item Description

GROSSBERG- UNDERWATER LENGTHS IN A SINGLE BREATH-Underwater Lengths in a Single Breath is the winner of the 2005 Richard Snyder Publication Prize. Each title of Benjamin Grossberg’s poems might well serve as the name for his entire book, from “Conclusion of a Poem begun by Marlowe” to “From the Shore” and “Renaissance Fair.” This attractive concurrence signifies that however various his inspirations, Grossberg’s exhalations are always from the same lungs, the same brain, the same heart. His is a united sensibility, the kind we usually attribute to “The Time of Myths,” as the poet calls it. This extraordinarily rich and entertaining first book is unique in my experience for its eager and outrageous connections with the masters who enjoyed such mythical thinking – Shakespeare, Whitman – as well as for its daring departures from what those same masters, so lovingly ransacked, might ever have undertaken. Grossberg is learned though anything but knowing, playful but in dead earnest, urbane yet refreshingly pastoral. I rejoice that these poems are in the world of American letters. -- Richard Howard

GRUNST- BLUE ORANGE

Item Description

ROBERT GRUNST- BLUE ORANGE - PUBLICATION DATE: MAY 15, 2012- Winner of the Robert McGovern Publication Prize- "Blue Orange is an extraordinarily vibrant book, peopled with vivid characters—Smethers, Dottie, Ramón—come alive, singing gospel, bowling, planting, harvesting, driving to Korea in an old Ford. The vignettes make one nostalgic for a carefree, exultant small town mid-America, even if this world seems oddly archetypal, hyper-real and historicized in a tintype. Even if, like Gaspar and Miguel Corte Real’s, Donald’s whereabouts will never be settled; even if roofs and swing set sets are treacherous. Even if the dogs…. Beyond family and tribe the book attempts a daring global reach in various colorful travel poems: exuberant flora and fauna assert themselves—marmosets, shrikes, horses telling tales and leaping out of their otherworldly Latin America taxonomies, making ‘elsewhere’ here. Ultimately, this book is a joyous reading adventure, making even the most blue-cast among us sing ‘hallelujah!’ and devour tasty oranges. I love this book!” - Marilyn Chin

Away from the fads and short-lived literary movements, Jerry Harp is at once technically masterful and deeply thoughtful. He is one of the very best young poets at work today. -- Kevin Prufer

MCGOVERN-FOOL: SELECTED POEMS- Robert McGovern has worked a long while in poetry's vineyard, and it's high time for him to let readers survey his harvest. He commands a wide variety of themes and forms. I'm taken with his strictly controlled and resonantly musical work (see the playful "Do Come And"), and with his formally freer poems as well. In several of his best poems, he writes with tremendous know-how and compassion of his children: see the portrait of a small boy, "Seven," and (equally successful) "For Nick," the latter addressed to the same son nearly grown. With wit and imagination, McGovern succeeds in relating the microcosm of the personal to the macrocosm of America at large. -- X. J. Kennedy

SCHNEIDERMAN- STRIKING SURFACE - Jason Schneiderman has a fabulous, distillate gift for seeing to the heart of inherited paradigms: the Greeks on violence and the gods; the Christian Middle Ages on violence and conquest; the all-too-transhistorical, multicultural Everywhere on violence toward children. Hence the ravishing paradox of Schneiderman's poems, which find their freshest purchase in twice-told tales: the myths of Hyacinth and Echo, the myth of the progressive totalitarian state, the skepticism of the Rabbis, the nostalgia of the skeptical philosophers. Striking Surface (six of them on the hand alone, says the latest Interrogation Manual) is both beautifully conceived and beautifully written: witty, trenchant, tender, acerbic, and always, immutably, wise. --Linda Gregerson

And when we read these poems, we know why poetry has power to reach across time and space... Readers will find in this collection of poems more than one reason to keep the book close by, to reread and sit with these wonderful and compelling jewels of language.” – Eloise Klein Healy, William Archila, Hilda Raz, judges for the PEN Book Award

Whether it’s a seashore, a field in winter, the “whiplong honeycomb casing of a snake,” or the astonishing, unforgettable thereness of a horse, it’s all illuminated by this poet’s “bright lines of light.” She speaks of “unearthly singing—just the wind in the ear of a whelk.” Of such singing—bringing the ordinary and the amazing into illuminating alignment—are these poems made. - Eamon Grennan

If there is a presiding theme here, it is the tension between our ‘struggle for precision’ and the poignant fact of the imperfection all around and within us. Whether celebrating domestic life or evoking global concerns, Wallace captures the beauty in what is flawed and the flaw in what is beautiful. ‘So much of what we love is born of loss,’ she tells us. And while the world Wallace renders is a broken one, in these poems it has been honed to brightness on the strop of her passionate sensibility. This is a wonderful debut.” - Enid Shomer
