Belief
Blues
by
Kay Murphy
ISBN
0-916620-88-3
96
pages $20
Kay
Murphy has fortified this collection with the authority of
testimony and experience. There is a riveting timbre to her
voice, a narrative vigour to her telling. Highly literate
and affectingly playful, carefully philosophical and deliciously
irreverent.
Belief Blues
speaks with a magnificence which defies hyperbole."

Yictove

pages $20
"Yictove
writes with the resonance of a native New Orleans bluesman,
the sharp eye of a New York City street poet, the rolling
rhythm of a Jamaican dub-poet, and the vision of a prophet
circling the modern Jericho. These poems are alive, whispering
and booming." James
Nolan, author of
What Moves is Not the Wind

Homage:
A Letter to Robert Penn Warren
by
H.R. Stoneback
ISBN
0-916620-43-3
64
pages $20
"The
poem [is] a delight, a great read, a rumble of energy all
the way through."
Dave
Smith, Elliot Coleman Professor of Poetry, Johns Hopkins
University.
"I was blown away by the art and power of the thing; a second
reading not only confirmed my admiration for the poem, it deepened
and broadened it. The poem's structure and 'geography' complement
one another splendidly. . . What an intertextual tour de force
it is!" William Bedford Clark, General Editor: Robert Penn
Warren Correspondence Project.

Café
Millennium & other poems

pages $20
On
"Woodsmoke in Aigues-Mortes: Late November" (winner of the W.B.
Yeats Prize and one of the poems included in
Café Millennium):
"performs an act of verbal hypnosis on its reader...."
"The poem begins in sensuous pleasure and then veers off to
consider one war safely locked in the historical past and another
war threatening to erupt into the present. How the poem manages
to return after touching on these disturbing realities to the
pleasure of seeing (or not seeing) cows at night and inhaling
the perfume of woodsmoke in the French countryside only attests
to the steady hand and equipoise of this poet." Billy
Collins,
Yeats Newsletter.

"In
poems precariously balanced on the pacing of each line, Harris
delves below the primeval to the 'sideshow soul,' stranger we
confront each time we look in the mirror and, suddenly, 'the
cranium slips around/ like continental shelves forming/ Himalayas.'
... But however they may shake us out of our quotidian comforts,
the luscious music of her poems ultimately sustains us with
their 'true words/ whose cryptic carvings/ tumble from rune-stones/
right before [our] eyes.'"
John Gery, author of
American Ghost: Selected Poems. |
