ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Charde, Sharon, PUBLISHER: Backwaters Press, In Branch in His Hand, a boy falls to his death and a mother sings a requiem in poems. The reader will not ever forget the Italy that he loved, or the wall from which he fell. Charde takes us to Italy, to the wall: A fissure in the wall like / a wound... and to the sea, in search of healing. In these brutally honest, beautiful poems, we face the death of one who is dearly loved, and recognize, as the poet says, that grief is at least part of what you / will grow into.

The Collected Poems of Robert Sward

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sward, Robert, PUBLISHER: Black Moss Press, Of Robert Sward work, Ram Dass says, "Old age is about harvesting whatever your life's work has been." Sward's life's work has been, and continues to be, poetry, and fifty years after his first publication, this is harvest time. From the thousand or so poems he has written since he began writing in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, these are the ones he has chosen to preserve. The collection also includes new poems that rounds off a sequence of poems for his father, "Rosicrucian in the Basement." Of Collected Poems, , Bruce Meyer writes, "Robert is the very essence of surprise and delight in poetry. He is a compassionate storyteller who looks at life through the sincerity and profundity of genuine wit, always rising above the ordinary, the mundane and the despairing. It is a joy to walk in the world of Sward's perceptions and to discover the wonder that inspires each poem."

Desperate Remedies

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hardy, Thomas / Ingham, Patricia, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Hardy's first published work, Desperate Remedies moves the sensation novel into new territory. The anti-hero, Aeneas Manston, as physically alluring as he is evil, even fascinates the innocent Cytherea, though she is in love with another man. When he cannot seduce her, Manston resorts to deception, blackmail, bigamy, murder, and rape. Yet this compelling story also raises the great questions underlying Hardy's major novels, which relate to the injustice of the class system, the treatment of women, probability and causality. This edition shows for the first time that the sensation novel was always Hardy's natural genre. It is based on the first edition text, and includes later prefaces and the Wessex Poems "dissolved" into prose.

Miracles of Sainted Earth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tester, Victoria Edwards, PUBLISHER: University of New Mexico Press, Victoria Edwards Tester speaks as a woman who knows what it feels like to be censored and who defiantly resists self-censorship. Tester's poems listen to the past and to creatures, land, and ghosts who most people can't hear at all. Her poems are rooted in New Mexico history but they transcend regional boundaries. She uses metaphor to reconcile what rationally doesn't appear to belong together. Her work is an attentive intermingling of imagination and intuition, weaving together landscape, choice, accident, love, and tragedy. "It was after I saw the saints behind their iron grilles and even the children weaving their tiny crosses torn from the laughter of winter jasmine into the saints' cages, that I decided to leave my prison of grief. When I opened my mouth an exquisite white spider crawled into the world on her eight legs." from "Chimayo"

Larenopfer

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zayas, Alfred / Rilke, Rainer Maria, PUBLISHER: Red Hen Press, Rene Maria Rilke was born in Prague on 4 December and died near Montreux in Switzerland, on 29 December . The foremost lyric German poet of the 20th century, he is remembered primarily for his "Duino Elegies," the "Sonnets to Orpheus," the "Neue Gedichte," the "Buch der Bilder," the "Stundenbuch," and the "Cornet." Although his mature poetry has been translated into many languages, his early poetry remains accessible only in the original German. This translation of the Larenopfer, or offerings to the Lares, the Roman household deities, are songs that Rilke sings to his hometown Prague and to his beloved Bohemia, short poems on the parks, fountains, churches, bridges and palaces of Prague, not forgetting Rabbi Low's legends, the Jewish cemetery, the Thirty Years' War and, of course, young love. This cycle of 90 poems offers the reader a unique view into Rilke's fascinating world, the turn-of-the-century atmosphere of Prague, then the third largest city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Here a young German of the ruling bourgeoisie shows great appreciation for contemporary Czech literary works and enthusiasm for the cause of Czech cultural identity. The Larenopfer possesses not only literary merit but is also of considerable sociological and historical interest.

Outsiders: Poems about Rebels, Exiles, and Renegades

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bosselaar, Laure-Anne, PUBLISHER: Milkweed Editions, Deep in the concrete canyons of even the largest cities, nature lurks. Its unpredictable energies animate not only squirrels and microorganisms, not only ginkgoes, roots, and rivers, but also the engines of human desire. Urban Nature captures the many faces of wildness in the city with poems by more than 130 emerging and recognized poets. Rather than just lamenting the loss of paradise, these poems celebrate nature's resiliency. They memorialize a salamander's last stand in a parking lot, link the cosmos to the consumer ethos ("The Pleiades / you could probably get downtown"), evoke horses galloping between skyscrapers, and track geological time in a pothole.

The Joyful Dark

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miller, Michael, PUBLISHER: Ashland Poetry Press, Michael Miller's "The Joyful Dark" is the first book of poems by an accomplished American poet who is currently in the seventh decade of his life. Michael Miller's poems have been praised by such renowned poets as James Merrill, Richard Wilbur, Stephen Spender and Thom Gunn, and have appeared in such venues as "The Kenyon Review, The Sewanee Review, The American Scholar, The New Republic, The Southern Review," and "The Yale Review." "The Joyful Dark" is, in part, a celebration of sexuality within a life-long committed marriage. Michael Miller also writes beautifully of the natural world, with many individual poems devoted to embodying in language the spirit of individual animals: white owl, shark, young whales, crow, red-wing, mallard, and hummingbird. His poems are, in Richard Wilbur's words, a "pleasure in their seeing, their assured phrasing, their true and proportionate feeling."
