Twenty tear-out postcards of the beautiful Ausable River Valley in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. The images are alternately scenic, comical, and of documentary interest. Marla Merante, a painter, has hand-tinted Ciszewski’s original black and white photographs so that they seem to have come from another time.

WILLIAMS, C.K.

The collected love poems of a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. What emerges is a complex and surprising self-portrait-as-lover from earliest childhood longings to the hindsight of mature experience. Love About Love is a vital study of the evolution of a consciousness that is truth-telling, passionate, and profound.

The fifth book by poet Steve Orlen, who is known for his passionate, truth-telling explorations of the inner life. His language is colloquial and easy of access, and his manner deceptively off-hand, considering his sometimes disturbing subjects (including dark secrets of the American male psyche).

This Particular Eternity

Orlen, Steve

The fifth book by poet Steve Orlen, who is known for his passionate, secret-spilling explorations of the inner life. His language is colloquial, accessible, and frequently very funny. He writes about sometimes-dark subjects, particularly childhood and adolescence, with hindsight that illuminates and transforms them.

Slowly, Slowly, Horses

Buchsbaum, Julianne

The linguistically fascinating first book by a poet who has been compared to Wallace Stevens. Her extreme precision and extraordinary diction distinguish this book from the crowd. Matthew Rohrer has called her work “simultaneously direct and mythical.”

Richardson is well-known for his five previous volumes of poetry and for his critical work. Along with new poems, this book includes a large selection of aphorisms, which have brought him a whole new audience. They are witty, profound, and often very funny.

History & Criticism

James Richardson is one of the finest poets now writing, and the best contemporary practitioner of the art of aphorism."—Publishers Weekly
"Not since the appearance of W. S. Merwin's translations and adaptations of aphorisms in Asian Figures, some thirty years ago, has an American poet managed to put down so much delightful and compelling wisdom."—American Literary Review
"No one theme or moral pervades these tesserae of specificity. Rather, Richardson's elegant compression invites the reader to fill in the blanks with personal experience… Richardson's knack for the quintessential, sustained for more than a hundred pages, left me satisfied yet hungry for more."— Times Literary Supplement
"Readers will be obsessed by this book; they will memorize passages, give copies to friends, proselytize. That's because Vectors so generously provides the best that poetry can offer. It is a masterpiece of practicality, beauty, and solace."— Boston Review
"James Richardson's Vectors... penetrates to the very heart of human nature. I stand looking in the mirror, alert to my own foibles, shaking my head as I tolerate what I know he knows about who I am."— The Georgia Review
"Almost every entry... introduces a new insight, provides a revelation, supplies a surprise... it is a book one wants to spend time with, a wonderfully friendly book, generous, witty and entertaining."— Gulf Coast
"Vectors is the kind of book you read, reread, thumb through, and pick up several extra copies because you want to share the joy you found in perusing it with friends."— Barrow Street
"James Richardson's Vectors is a book of subversive wonders. Stunningly precise, these brilliant aphorisms and ten-second essays show a mind assessing, reassessing, discovering, and interrogating assumptions in ways that feel diamond-sharp, at once good-natured, quietly sly at times, and always, always, very shrewd. 'It can never be satisfied, the mind, never,' wrote Wallace Stevens. Vectors is a remarkable testament to such questing, vivid minding, as these aphorisms alight on everything from the nature of perception, to God, success, fear, shame, self-consciousness, love and friendship."—Laurie Sheck
