Conjure Blues: poems

Green, Jaki Shelton

Poetry

Reissue of Jaki Shelton Green's acclaimed premier collection of poetry. Green's earlier works pulse with the intoxicating rhythms and fierce clarity of image that made her one of North Carolina's most popular poets. Here is an artist at turns angry and wickedly funny, demanding justice yet possessed of a refined grace.

Dead On Arrival: poems

In 1945, a fifteen-year-old North Carolina farm girl and a sixteen-year-old Liverpool schoolboy began a correspondence as part of a school project that would endure for more than fifty years. Their mutual love of books and writing and their similar backgrounds helped bind the two in a relationship that poet and assistant professor Steve Katz of NCSU calls born of the pen. Goolsby's initial letters were thought to be missing when their successful book LETTER IN A BOTTLE was published in 1991. Found in Graham's tool shed in London in 1993, they now appear in their entirety in LETTERS LOST AND FOUND for the first time.

Science, Nature & How It Works

William Pitt Root's White Boots: New and Selected Poems of West [are] poems of tender awe and Rilkean praise erasing completely the divisions between man and beast, poems that invite the reader upon their back and carry him across buttes and vistas, arroyos and sheer cliff shimmy holes, poems whose music is wound so tight that the stitches and sinews disappear and all that remains is the pure imagination made manifest and majestic, the reader alone on the plain riding their shine. --Keith Flynn, Asheville Poetry Review
