Playing for Keeps: Poems

Lynx House Books

"In these new poems, Donald Junkins again gives his readers the remarkable constructs of precision and voice and craft they have come to expect from him. His formal poise and meditative music convey the reader through highly particularized places and times to numinous Place and Time, always lingering at the crossroads of landscape and inscape. Retracing paths of memory, Junkins leads his readers toward the harbor of true placidity where, through the larger motions of the heart, we stand a chance of loving well the world. In these poems there may be homesickness--or mal du pays--for many homes, many places, many countries, many times, but they will have no truck with mere nostalgia, that sentimental drive to surrender the present to the past. What the poet creates brilliantly here is the essential poetic archeology, sifting the ruins of the past to make sense of the present, and thus an imaginable future. Readers will discover in these landscapes that are at once achingly real and hauntingly magical, both loss and grace, and renewals that redeem remorse and regret. With something very much like prayerful reverence for exactitude and truth, these poems do what Bergson says art must do-they bring us into our own presence." --H.R.Stoneback

Late at Night in the Rowboat: Poems

Lost Horse Press

In "Swans Island Buoys and Other Lines, " an award-winning poet shares his compilation of poetry spanning forty years and providing a colorful glimpse into life on a small working island in Blue Hill Bay in the Downeast Maine coastal waters. Donald Junkins, a former professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Director of the Master of Fine Arts program in English, offers seventy-five poems presented in a lyrical, resonant voice. Junkins includes original poetry and works previously published in such journals as "The New Yorker, The Virginia Quarterly Review, " and the two-volume anthology "Contemporary New England Poetry." With a polished style, Junkins illustrates daily life for the 350 year-round inhabitants who orchestrate their lives around the tides, nightly winds, lobstering, fog, and late summer rains. In a world where the natural ebb and flow of nature dictates everyday life, Junkins offers an exquisite collection of poetry reminiscent of a time gone by. "On this late morning in late June two yellow butterflies traverse the beach peas where the seawall begins. Mourning doves sound in the air."

Orchards of Almonds

When thirty-five-year-old Bill Armature learns he's inherited a house in California, he leaves Detroit, Michigan, to deal with his new home. Armature believes his stay in Chico will be temporary and leases an apartment for just three months. Soon this man of many hats-political cartoonist, fisher, hunter, former footballer, father, and husband-finds himself teaching at Chico State and fiddling in politics. He attempts to fathom the roots of love and fatherhood-of betrayal, death, and loss-while searching for ways to fill the lonely places inside.  Orchards of Almonds features characters that include Kennedys alive and dead, LBJ and company, and Ronald Reagan, along with California politicos, academics, Vietnam protesters, and movie stars. While weaving author Donald Junkins' semi-autobiographical story, it provides an insider's view of California politics in the 1960s. Praise for the work of Donald Junkins "Donald Junkins' Half Hitch perfectly captures an American era and the story of a life caught in its baffling attitudes toward manhood, religion, and sex." -Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize and National Book award winner "Junkins is a highly regarded American poet and one of the world's celebrated experts on Hemingway. How encouraging to see this stunning appearance in the world of the novel!" -Robert Kaiser, Author, RFK Must Die
