With introduction by Brian C Pohanka. The Ninth New York Infantry, also known as Hawkin's Zouaves, served admirably in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War. Best remembered for their gaudy Zouave uniforms, this regiment spearheaded the Federal Army's advance into the streets of the town of Sharpsburg, MD during the battle of Antietam, America's bloodiest day in history, September 17, 1862. The men of the Ninth New York Infantry advanced further than any other Federal regiment engaged that day.

About the Author\nMatthew Graham is the author of the previous books of poetry, New World Architecture (Galileo Press, 1985), 1946 (Galileo Press, 1991), and A World Without End (River City Publishing, 2006), and the recipient of awards and fellowships from the Academy of American Poets, Pushcart, the Indiana Arts Commission and the Vermont Studio Center.\nPoetry. "With longing, elegiac notes, wry humor, and an Edward Hopper-esque paint brush, Matthew Graham traverses the topography of a life made satisfyingly whole through a steadfast examination of the everyday, the cosmopolitan, and the contemplative. It's a potent combination that reminds me, in this moment of political divisiveness, that unwavering interiority is the first step toward bridging the invisible boundaries that divide us. THE GEOGRAPHY OF HOME marks a poet at the height of his powers: wise, stinging, and wonderfully alive. You have to read these poems."--Marcus Wicker

In the sixth volume of the River City Poetry Series, Matthew Graham muses over the stages of life and the entelechy of the human spirit, over the internal missions that are seeded within us from birth, and yet how our environments define and transform us. These poems describe by turns a childhood infused with adult longing (collecting fireflies in a jelly jar becomes a precognitive exercise), an adulthood choked with memories (daylight savings time becomes an excuse to invoke the past), and the sweet redemption of love, as passing time provides the medium and grace for mistakes to be, finally, forgiven: “Time turns us all … toward the inevitable struggle between opening and closing, between the waiting and the going somewhere.” Here is a travelogue to a place invented, a country familiar yet unexpected.Series editor Andrew Hudgins says: “A thoughtful elegiac voice pervades Matthew Graham's World Without End, his new book and best book yet. A small sense of mourning arises even in his celebration of deep and continuing love because he knows love, in the fullness of time, inevitably ends, even if the lovers never falter in their loving. That doubled understanding moves him to the richest music in a life work rich in music and meditation. World Without End is stately without stiffness, thoughtful without pretense, humorous without being indecorous, clear without being simple. It offers a pleasure in every line and a fresh moment of insight and understanding on every page.”

The emergence of a 'new' democratic South Africa under Nelson Mandela was regarded as a high watermark for international ideals of human rights and democracy. Much was expected of the ANC in power, particularly that it would be able to translate its ideals into a coherent foreign policy for the African continent. Yet its foreign policy since 1994 has been mired in accusations of incoherence, contradiction and failure. Here, based on extensive archival research and interviews, Matthew Graham offers new ways of interpreting South Africa's foreign policy by investigating the continuities and discontinuities of the ANC's international relations - from exile to political power. Charting the political intrigues during the country's transition from apartheid, and the subsequent influences on Presidents Mandela and Mbeki, The Crisis of South African Foreign Policy makes a vital contribution to our understanding of why post-apartheid South Africa has failed to lead Africa on the world stage.
