This one is all adventure in the event, a scaling of the exigent, an act of utter tell beyond the call. In contingency detail, at hypnagogic rates, she meets you in mind of a reckoning. Here is the endlessly inclusive Bernadette, the one from whom comes. And so at last these once secret letters are addressed to everyone. Clark Coolidge

Gilfillan, Merrill

A fixture in the San Francisco literary scene for over a decade, Dodie Bellamy will surpass the expectations of her many fans with this new book--which traces a woman's relationships with three very different men and her involvement in 20th-century vampire culture. This is a nearly indescribable epistolary novel that brings the heroine of Bram Stoker's DRACULA forward into the acronymic age of MTV, HIV, ATM, VCR, etc.

The rolling, billowing, delicate landscape of Nebraska’s Sandhills; the tombstone of Billy the Kid—stolen so often that it must be caged and shackled—in Fort Sumner, New Mexico; an intercontinental ballistic missile trundling down a highway under heavy guard in Weld County, Colorado; cottonwoods and cranes, faded hotels and abandoned trailers painted aqua and purple; the ghosts of Pawnees, Cheyennes, and Kiowas and generations of settlers whose descendants now grouse in a café in Heimdahl, North Dakota, or roar off to a bikers convention in Sturgis, South Dakota. These are some of the things that catch Merrill Gilfillan’s eye and ear in this radiant collection of essays. Written with a poetic economy that often attains grandeur, Magpie Rising is an exhilarating tour of the Great Plains—its geography, wildlife, history, mythology, and food, its vast spaces and weirdly synchronous time. This is nature writing at its most evocative and insightful.

While We're Here signals the debut of a poetry that is startling and simple by turns, taking in the classical world and the contempprary with the rigor and inventiveness of its forms. This book is a narrative that moves edgily from the natural world to the social, from the social to the historical. Elegant, sometimes brutal, Madoff's poems echo each other, back and forth, weaving a whole that records the miraculous wealth of the natural world and our own miracles and mayhem within it.

Short stories told in the usual unforgettably shocking manner previously seen in little men also published by Hard Press. These tales from the seamier side of life draw the reader into a nihilistic world that smacks of Bukowski's, but with a brash eroticism and a cheerful cynicism that is unmistakably Kevin Killian's.
