Paperback. Zustand: Good. Soul food. Transcending and transformational.-Reverend Anthony R. Tony Pompa, Dean and Rector of The Cathedral Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem, PAA magnificent, magnifying view of a seemingly ordinary life Melinda Rizzo's Late Snow and Hellebore begins with It all comes down to this. and ends with There will be more.It is not such a bad deal after all. From field to table, family to faith, all is fair game. She aims for both the head and the heart.piercing and playful. And the head of a pin will be crowded by angels/in black leather boots tied at their ankles. In Late Snow and HelleboreMelinda Rizzo takes the reader to toes testing how far the edge extends and dares to lean forward.-Patricia Goodrich, author of Stone Hunting in Transylvania, Woman With A Wandering Eye, How the Moose Got To Be, Verda's House and Red MudMelinda Rizzo's Late Snow and Hellebore begins with blackberries, luscious, plum-colored, nubby and nested, but it isn't just a crafted and compelling book about nourishment, the nourishment of the earth and its bounty, the nourishment of language and its own kind of abundance, the nourishment of faith and family and the fertility of the imagination. It is a book that nourishes. We feast on artichoke and alphabet. We are sustained by Jersey peaches, Savon de Marseille, and soup, a Lenten spirit and an Easter promise, the music of pear blossoms and wintering bluebirds, the sounds of color and the taste of Perugia chocolate. It's not a bad deal are the very last words of this startlingly beautiful volume that offers us a way to live in a fallen world and find nourishment there, joy and meaning. I echo the poet's own words: D' accord -Christopher Bursk, author of The First Inhabitants of Arcadia.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Dancing with the Moon is a special, stunning collection; it made me weep. The book is a powerful tribute to the intricacies of love, from the rush of an initial connection, to the roaring heartbreak of a dissolution, to the rest (and unrest) of a long-term partner. Davison has captured the prismatic nature of relationships, and through his words the reader's own experiences are reflected back in breathtaking fashion. Dancing with the Moon reminds us that a meaningful life is made up of the people we meet for a moment, the people we lose, and the people we may be fortunate enough to love so deeply that we re-examine ourselves. A must-buy for everyone I know.-Emily Hitchcock, CEO of Boyle and Dalton publishing houseI invite you to revel in the gift of this collection, as I have. It carries the reader forward as by a flowing stream and though there is a temptation to gulp, do not. Go slowly. This volume of love should be sipped and savored, allowing each morsel to roll on the tongue of your consciousness for a bit and be still. Wait. Then, as if gently led, move forward. Feel that river swell between the solid banks of familiar life and love to its destination, a Quaker's ode to an ever-present and eternal Heaven, reflected in these evocative poems. They touch a secret place of longing, intimacy and joy within, even as they reflect that most essential aspect of our humanity, love.-Don Badgley, author of What Is Not a MiracleAfter the expansiveness of his recent The Road to Continental Heart, which sweeps the breadth of the nation, Steven Davison's new book of poetry, Dancing with the Moon, explores the intimacy of companions he has loved through a long life. From the dedication page to the final poem-What is Heaven?-his words seem to dance cheek-to-cheek across the page.-Greg Barnes, author of Jane among Friends (2017). …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Because you studied / the error of a speck of white / cloud, begins the speaker in a particularly evocative poem by Sally Nacker; what was otherwise perfect becomes, somehow, imperfectly beautiful, and thus, in this poem, bluer. It's to the beautiful imperfection that Nacker has turned her acute poet's eye in her new collection Kindness in Winter-so that at some point, the inward and the outward meet one another in common tremble. Situated in the natural world, these poems take a kind of interior flight, each marking its sure course.-Carol Ann Davis, Poet and Essayist, Author of Atlas Hour and The Nail in the TreeIn looking into the minutiae of the natural world-the eyes of a wren, footprints of a bird in the snow, morning light on magnolia petals- Kindness in Winter conveys their hugeness with understated wonder and a softly resonating music.-Henry Lyman, Author of The Land Has Its SaySally Nacker's Kindness in Winter is a bright blossom of a book, generously populated with birds, gardens, sunlight, and the occasional visiting doe. It comes as a welcome gift for readers seeking respite from the world's prevailing despair, reminding us to quietly observe the snow / dissolve into a field of flowers. These are poems that are beautifully crafted (many of them gracefully rhymed and metered) and often reminiscent of Dickinson, Robert Francis, or Mary Oliver in their precise observations of the natural world.-Marilyn L. Taylor, Poet Laureate of Wisconsin (2009-2010), Author of Going Wrong and Step on a CrackAs in her previous two collections- Vireo and Night Snow-Sally's poems continue to hold a deep clarity and profound stillness within them. Her crystalline evocations of winter make me feel a reverence for a season I have often dreaded. I return to Sally's work when I want to abide more fully in the peace and beauty of the world. Like the wild phlox in her poem of that name, Sally's poems preach a goodness and a fragrant prayer. / They ignite the air, and astonish.-Andrea Potos, Author of Mothershell and Marrow of Summer.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. These poems are a measuring of hope and dread, a collection that shows us the beautiful, bright photograph then places it next to its dark, disturbing photographic negative. In these poems, we witness, for example, Salvador Dali going to work in an office. The discourse issuing from these efforts is redemptive, even if it doesn't come in the form of answers. These poems intrigue with their questioning of the human condition, a state somewhere between spirit and stranger. As the poems move easily into Mark Rothko's art and life, the discourse continues but in the form of colors, of juxtapositions, guiding our understanding of them from canvas to soul. In sum, the poems stay true to exploring an initial, profound insight: The other man that I am.-Alberto R osKip Knott's first full-length collection of poetry is twenty years overdue, years during which I've remained steadfast in admiration of his unique and provocative verses. Good news: Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom, and so on has arrived, and it's right on time after all. These poems are mature, taut, inquisitive, masculine in the best sense, intersections of riddle and wisdom, regret and gratitude. For all the liveliness of this book, there's a stillness here that surprises, a somberness in its landscapes, the soundings of a life fully and thoughtfully lived that compels our attention. Who knew that ecstasy could be so dire, while doom so much fun? More good news: A whole new generation of poetry lovers can now find out.-Gaylord BrewerIf the passions of Mark Rothko offer Kip Knott's first full-length collection Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom, and so on its title, the poems themselves are hewn from language solid as statuary and tantalizingly wise as koans. Through the frustrations of time's passage, the keen prophecy of art, and the visionary spinning wheel of perception, we might talk to or sleep beside our past or future selves, or finally arrive at the inevitable/clearing in the woods where equilibrium means ending, the blank space of your life/stretching out into infinity.-Lisa Lewis.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In her newest poetry collection, Within the Trifles, Brems in her refreshingly unconventional style once again leaves her mark on ordinary details of everyday lives - a small child who learns a life lesson from a tiny broken egg fallen from a bird's nest, a widower who takes comfort and support in the offerings of a peach tree he's looked after for thirty years. Brems' keen powers of observation and persistent search for meaning in the mundane deliver the reader from complacency. -Katherine Russel Becker, author, Playing GodBrems' succinct poetry delivers vivid slice-of-life moments in which we recognize ourselves amidst life's difficulties and joys. -Vanessa MacLaren-Wray, Pushcart nominee and author, Shadows of Insurrection and Flames of Attrition.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A volume of poetry in which the author confronts God, the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and the bystanders to the genocide in which six million Jews were murdered. Menachem Rosensaft also reflects on other genocides, physical separation during the COVID-19 pandemic, and why Black lives matter, among other themes that inspire the reader to make the ghosts of the past an integral part of their present and future.About the AuthorMenachem Z. Rosensaft is the associate executive vice president and general counsel of the World Jewish Congress and teaches about the law of genocide at Columbia Law School and Cornell Law School. In addition to a law degree from Columbia Law School and a master's degree in modern European history from Columbia University, he received a master's degree in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University. He is the editor of God, Faith & Identity from the Ashes: Reflections of Children and Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors (Jewish Lights Publishing, 2015). ***Through his haunting poems, my friend Menachem Rosensaft transports us into the forbidding universe of the Holocaust. Without pathos and eschewing the maudlin clich s that have become far too commonplace, he conveys with simultaneous sensitivity and bluntness the absolute sense of loss, deep-rooted anger directed at God and at humankind, and often cynical realism. His penetrating words are rooted in the knowledge that much of the world has failed to internalize the lessons of the most far-reaching genocide in history. The son of two survivors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, Menachem, brings us face to face with his five-and-a-half-year-old brother as he is separated from their mother and murdered in a Birkenau gas chamber. He then allows us to identify with the ghosts of other children who met the same tragic fate. Poems Born in Bergen-Belsen deserves a prominent place in Holocaust literature and belongs in the library of everyone who seeks to connect with what Elie Wiesel called the kingdom of night.Ronald S. Lauder, President, World Jewish Congress.Ever since he was a college student and in the many decades since Menachem Rosensaft has been raising difficult questions. He has rarely if ever, turned away from a fight when truth and justice were at stake. That same honesty, conviction, and forthrightness are evident in these compelling poems. His passion about the horrors of genocide, prejudice, and hatred leaves the reader unsettled. And that is how it should be. Deborah Lipstadt, Ph.D., Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies, Emory University. Menachem Rosensaft's luminous poetry confirms that he is not only one of the most fearless chroniclers of our factual, hard history, but also a treasured narrator of our emotional inheritance. Each of his poems is a jewel of economy, memory, and pathos, and each is a crystallized snapshot of the strained times we are living in, as well as the past moments we wish we could unlive.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A good poet, to me, is either witness or magician. Ben Westlie is both. These poems are proof of a life hard-won, of living, breathing things, of birds of dreams and nightmares, of soothing hands and hard slaps. These poems are spells. They commune with the dead, with missing people's shadows and of past versions of ourselves we thought we burned or buried, none of whom are truly lost. Here is a story that keeps repeating, a chanting for the lonely, the othered, the weak, the proud, the strong, the suffering, and the survivor. Here is all of us at one time or another, and maybe all of us still. Be careful, Reader. Ben Westlie is soon to show you the power of poetry.-Bryan Borland, Founding Publisher of Sibling Rivalry Press and author of My Life as Adam How is the feeling of belonging achieved? Must all fears be conquered? When does manhood cross the line into toxic masculinity? Ben Westlie's fearless poems don't pose answers to such tough questions but rather reveal the vertices where possibilities hover. Page after page, I was touched again and again by such poignant and resonant work.-Nance Van Winckel, author of The Many Beds of Martha WashingtonThese poems are lovingly crafted, heartbreakingly authentic, and, most important, emotionallyhonest. Honest about family relations, sexuality, and self. Westlie writes in the voice of Asolitary man converted into a goddess. With its lyricism, grace, and soul, Run From Your Now is a gift for readers seeking their own truest futures.-Sue William Silverman, author of If the Girl Never LearnsBen Westlie's, Run From Your Now, explores the complexities of identity, from the struggles of self-acceptance to the triumphs of self-love, painting a vivid portrait of a journey in rural America. At the boundary between what is lost and what remains, Westlie teaches us resilience and endurance. This stunning and heartfelt collection is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. From the depths of nostalgia to the heights of hope, from the sorrows of loss to the joys of love, Westlie creates a poetic journey like no other. Run From Your Now resonates deeply within, leaving an indelible imprint long after the last page. -Crystal Spring Gibbins, author of Now/Here and editor of Split Rock Review.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In lush language and startling metaphor, Kalina Smith tells family truths, women's truths, and lovers' truths. At turns tender and fierce, the poems in Scorpio Season will linger with the reader long after the book is closed.-Jeanetta Calhoun Mish, 2017-18 Oklahoma Poet Laureate, author, What I Learned at the WarKalina Smith's debut poetry chapbook, Scorpio Season, is immersed in nature with all the senses and with every sensation: the music of water and birds and country songs, flower colors, weather in cold and hot seasons, in a culture of Christians, whiskey, kindness, and meanness. The zodiac, the calendar, and the hours measure life and death as the future unfolds, crashing, crumpling, wading, until the scorpion becomes dozens of butterflies, like the best poetry.-Mary Meriam, author, Pools of June"I refused to be a Capricorn, / knowing I belonged under / the Scorpio sign," Kalina Smith writes in the titular poem of her bold new chapbook, Scorpio Season. And indeed, Smith exhibits a confident knowledge of herself in these poems, as a writer, a truth-teller, someone unafraid to grapple with the complexities of the past. The poems are full of the sights and sounds of the American South, both the timeless - honeysuckle blooms, mulberry bushes, coyotes - and the timely - Kacey Musgraves, Coca Cola, UFC fights. Just as Smith blends old and new elements of the landscape, so too does she showcase a complex mixture of nostalgia for the place she's from and a desire to separate herself from it, comparing herself in one poem to "a hound dog / in a tiny gated yard." It's this tension, between heartfelt connection and defiant confrontation, that pulses at the heart of the collection. In both established forms (ex: sonnet, aubade, heroic couplet) and free verse, Smith gifts readers with a thoughtful, honest debut book that is at once heartbreaking and hopeful, searing and, at times, funny.-Mary Sharpe, Associate Professor of English at Arkansas Tech University.…
