Poetry. "If you're not careful, Alison Stone will devour you," Thom Ward writes of the first winner of the Many Mountains Moving Poetry Book Contest; here the poems "whisper and howl, implore and grieve. Their versions of the mundane and the mythic engage us, offer shape and texture to 'the messy bright life we are born for.' Her poetics serves notice of the metaphysical amid the imminent, how Persephone is always and forever descending and returning, death into life and life into death. Such wisdom is Stone's gift to us." Stone's poems have appeared in Paris Review, Poetry, Ploughshares, and Many Mountains Moving. For more info please visit http://www.mmminc.org.

Poetry. The title poem in this poetry collection "is a tour de force of persona and plot as a brother watches his sister careen out of control. INVISIBLE SISTER does indeed set up a dialog of great tension...[F]ull of dualities: life/death, dream life/waking life, female/male, Asian/non-Asian, INVISIBLE SISTER itself suggests multiple readings and serves not only as a book of poetry but as a blueprint, sheet music, a play waiting to be built or performed" - Denise Duhamel in the American Book Review.

History & Criticism

Poetry. Winner of the 4th MMM Press Poetry Book Competition. "Few debut collections claim the confidence of Susan Settlemyre William's. With immense technical swagger and a nerviness that never overpowers her considerable empathy and elegiac tenderness, Williams investigates both the domestic and the strange. She is above all a spiritual writer, and-like the best such writers-understands that gnosis arrives as much through desecration as through piety. ASHES IN MIDAIR is a stirring, engrossing, and haunted book"-David Wojahn. Williams is also the author of the chapbook Possession (Finishing Line Press 2007). Her poetry has appeared in Mississippi Review, 42opus, Shenandoah, Sycamore Review, the Marlboro Review, and diode, among others. Her poem "Lighter" won the 2006 Diner poetry contest and was selected for Best New Poets 2006. She holds an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and is book review editor and associate editor of Blackbird.

Rosaldo, Renato

Poetry. "Patrick Lawler's new book UNDERGROUND (NOTES TOWARD AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY) is a unique and fascinating volume: part interview, part poetry, part elegy for his father, part examination of how a son with this particular father became a writer and a poet. You will be in awe at how Lawler, a boy who spent seven years living with his family in a cellar with no books—just a magic word box—transformed himself and came to terms with his father's idiosynchrasies as well as his own. 'At One of my Father's Funerals, I was Humphrey Bogart' is a knockout piece! Read this, read it all. Find out how Lawler discovers that an ending 'blossoms into multiple beginnings.'"—Susan Terris
