Retriever Training - A Better Way

Poetry. African American Studies. Mervyn Taylor "is strenuously after what all honestly skilled craftsmen seek: tone, accent without affectation.The sense of search, of the avoidance of flash, mutes his meters to an admirable degree, and tone, which he found remarkably early, keeps him separate and unique. These are many words for what is perhaps the most difficult aspect of good verse: honesty. Mervyn Taylor is an honest poet, and that is high and sufficient praise indeed."-Derek Walcott

Poetry. "WALKING comes from times and places that still see people as primary and the means by which they can live, the common need. Stephen Vincent is an old hand who has learned the hard way and so can be trusted. His art moves variously, like his feet. WALKING means what it says" -Robert Creeley.

Poetry. "In his 4th book of poems, QUESTIONS, SHORT POEMS, WATER & AIR, Ira Beryl Brukner gives us four sets of quirky, funny, melancholy, and startlingly direct riffs on love, the birth of a son, the death of a father, and the deep questionings of daily life. These are poems of disarming simplicity whose precisely-chosen detail suggests landscapes and histories beyond the words. And the good news here is that the language swings, swings in places hard as good jazz."-Quincy Troupe

Poetry. "Owens' theme is that of violation - the violation of one person's space by those who want to control or absorb it, who will not let it be...Owens does not shrink from the violence and horror she finds everywhere around her and which she projects back, most convincingly, into what was supposed to be, according to Burckhardt and Berenson, the ordered and measured world of Renaissance Florence. [Owens'] is a universe of stark gesture, lightning flash, and uncompromising judgment: it is imperative, in her poetic world, to face up to the horror, even as the point of view is flexible enough to avoid all dogmatism" - from Marjorie Perloff's introduction.

<p>Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "The astonishing range of fifty-three poetic voices, traditional native chants and popular corridos which are generously presented in bilingual format is rooted in a time and place that is both timeless and in constant flux. Baja Californians are a population on the move, alive to change, living on the edge, and the poetry in this lovingly-translated anthology conveys the feel of gritty towns and cities, burning deserts, lonely mountains, a huge sky still crowded with stars, the wind blowing in off the Pacific or the Sea of Cortes, the nearness of gray whales and pelicans, the uncertainties of isolation, the jittery rhythms of urban life, the United States forever looming on the other side of the border"--Homero Aridjis, noted Mexican poet and president of PEN International. These are the voices lost beneath the headlines of our contentious border. It should be of special interest for residents and students of the entire border, for Californians, for lovers of poetry of all kinds.</p>
