Poetry. "This evening I'm surprise/ anew/ by the way light/ alludes to// an exile// wherein/ a world of which/ I cannot speak/ is glorified"--"Pont L'Archiveche." Praise for Paul Pines' "Breath": ".the poems in `Breath' constitute a heartfelt, extended meditation on the transporting effects of everyday phenomena, how the psychic wormholes that allow instantaneous travel along out internal galaxies hide just under the next memory, the next sentence, and beneath them all, the All itself--unknowable, perhaps, but in Pines' poetry, nearly imaginable"--American Book Review.

Poetry. "From the Hollywood Hills to Nairobi, from Palestine to the World Trade Center, and not least from the locality of the human heart, D. H. Melhem brings her observant eye to journeys both inward and outward. Her family stories are skillfully told elegies and praise poems for both contemporary and legendary women. A visionary with an ingrained sense of history, this poet's deep concern is social justice, but her love of visual beauty will not be denied"--Colette Inez. "D. H. Melhem is one of our brilliant contemporary talents"--Gwendolyn Brooks.

Poetry. "In BEGGARS AT THE WALL, Rochelle Ratner guides us through an Israel that is not quite the Middle Eastern country we've learned about from CNN or travel books. This is her Israel: a fabled and disquieting place she wants to love like a homeland but cannot entirely embrace. In these plain-spoken poems, so naked in their concerns and passions, Ratner has given us the work of a secular Jew who yearns to be centered in Zion but who knows that Israel can never be her home. Her poems are washed in the light of Safed, Masada, and Jerusalem--a light that reveals hard truths about the lone Jewish nation on the planet...and about ourselves"--Charles Fishman.

Poetry. The movement of TAXIDANCING by Paul Pines from the jazz poems of his Tin Palace days in the first section "After Hours," to the ruminative "Bits and Pieces," is what Laurel Blossom has called " a taki ride from the madness of existential struggle to the 'darkness of a dream' in which 'each of us (is) a center.'"

Taxidancing

Poetry. "RUTH'S SKIRTS is an inspired, captivating work. It exposes the artificiality of the borders between poetry and prose, between poet and activist. Kathy Engel gives us writing that is sensual, compassionate, that penetrates the soul and explores the critical questions of what it means to be human." - Alexis De Veaux
