Fiction. The first novel from Bay Area writer John Norton. I saw myself in the characters of John Norton's marvelous novel, in David's bitterness, in Susan's lonely abandon, in Laura's absence and mystery. I wanted to stop his hero from feeling so much, but so strong is the pull of Norton's writing that I turned off the novocaine and just pulled the handkerchiefs off of the shelf and out of the gift pack --Kevin Killian.

Poetry. Organized in reverse chronological order, the oldest of these beautifully-controlled poems goes back to 1930--a genuine selection from a life's work. "Intimate, immediate, candid, Edith Jenkins' poems never fail to amaze with their precision and passion. In this collection that draws from the years of a full and ardently engaged life, she mines the deep seams of love and memory and extracts pure gold"--Nancy J. Peters, Editor of City Lights Books. "Jenkins refuses to oversimplify; instead, as in Donne, 'Contraries meet in her work.'"--Frances Mayes.
