Little-dog-of-iron (Poetry of the West)

St. Clair, Philip R

Poetry. Hales writes of the extraordinary in ordinary lives, of what people see, hear, and do when things are not as they expected—when life walks up to you face-to-face, and waits for you to say the first word and make the first move. T.R. Hummer says of her work, "Corrinne Hales's poetry is straightforward and clear, adopting a plain style which is both appropriate and deceptive. It leads us to understand things we might prefer to ignore; it instructs us in examining the foundations of what we believe and to see where they are weak; it invites us to walk in places where the ground gives way beneath us."

Poetry. Newly typeset and redesigned, award-winning author Sandra Alcosser's book appears in a brand new edition with its original introduction by James Tate. "By turns tender, dark, sensuous, Sandra Alcosser's care for language is never far from center-stage. The diction is rich and appropriate. Themes and subthemes tangle in the subconscious. They are not simple, but neither are they obscure. A FISH TO FEED ALL HUNGER challenges and rewards those still in the habit of reading. Each moment seems to have its just emphasis. In our daily lives, we are performing a series of rites for one another. And Alcosser's sense of ritual is keen. She gives meaning when it is most needed"—James Tate.

A Fish to Feed All Hunger

Alcosser, Sandra

Kevin Hearle's collection Each Thing We Know Is Changed Because We Know It explores the writer's sense of identity against the backdrop of his Southern California hometown--what it was and what it is now and, ultimately, what that change means to him. In these poems we see a love-hate relationship with a land that has become a stranger to him before his eyes. Hearle is a native of Santa Ana, the town known for its winds which once fed the wild California brushfires, but now "Sweeps away the L.A. smog, a haze which is the air of millions."

Poetry. Written during the two years following the death of her husband, Miriam Sagan's THE WIDOW'S COAT paints landscapes of bleak astonishment that he is no longer alive, vivid images of his continued presence in the everyday experience of memory, and jumbled ranges of confusion and surprise as she finds herself once again in love with a childhood sweetheart. "When the worst befalls the best, sometimes amazed music occurs. Miriam Sagan eulogizes and exalts so that we're able to feel our own griefs while rejoicing that she has articulated loss so bravely and well"--Joan Logghe.

Poetry. Venturing into the territories of family and loss, persistence and hope, SanFrancisco poet Linda Dyer's voice is wry and inventive in these poems,where a crayfish can be a child's pet, a lover's makeshift ashtrayan erotic lure, office supplies a convenient resource for makeovers."Her poetry is a naked poetry--haunting, seamless, and precise," writesDenise Duhamel. "Witty and tough, drawing on science and street argot,[Dyer] at the same time has a feeling for the inner magic of the word,the quirky phrase, in the manner of Plath or Hopkins."--Alan Williamson

Poetry. "Long ago, those adventurous, uncompromisingly 'broken' peoms of THE TENNIS COURT OATH, as well as the radiant pieces of language (and silence) etched onto the page by poets such as Celan and Beckett, showed us how far down the Via Negativa our aesthetics could go. Lance Phillips has added to that tradition a poetry which is elliptical not because it has been half erased to confound the authorities, but simply because it is humbly alert to the limitations and possiblilities of linguistic expression"--Christopher Davis. "Lance Phillips is a poet who means to act, and his meaning takes the measure of us all"--Donald Revell.

Poetry. "Aaron McCollough has reclaimed (that is, radically reclaimed) a certain ancientness of praise and quest, credence and address, for our fractured present. The resulting poems resonate with a singular music, urgency, and substance. In short, WELKIN is both an inventive and immediately rewarding collection, and one rich with promise"--Michael Palmer. Aaron McCollough was raised in Tennessee and holds degrees from the University of the South, North Carolina State University, and the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. He is currently doing doctoral work at the University of Michigan. WELKIN was the winner of the Sawtooth Prize in Poetry for 2002, selected by Brenda Hillman.

Poetry. "Lisa Fishman writes with an impeccable sense of cadence, of words as sounds too, of physical fact becoming thought and then recurring as poetry" - Robert Creeley. "These spare, delicately packed lyrics call up the traditions of Dickinson, Niedecker, and Riding, and join the varieties of women's experimental writing of the last two decades" - Brenda Hillman. "Fishman's poems, elliptical, spiraling, sound the mystery of ordinary things, a torn screen door.to test the undisclosed meanings of both language and landscape" - Michael Palmer.
