“How often does original poetry smash into the world, shattering our selves into new configurations? Carol Hebald’s poems are as fresh and surprising as tomorrow. Lyrical mysticism joins demotic diction, the passage between high and low navigated by a syntax that takes us where we’ve never been. You must read this book.”—Kelly Cherry, author of History, Passion, Freedom, Death, and Hope: Prose about Poetry “Carol Hebald’s poems, both beautiful and strong, display her mastery of a new form which I call ‘strict wildness.’ Never have I encountered a more fantastic imagination combined with a more rigorous sense of formal control.”—Peter Viereck, author of Tide and Continuities  "Carol Hebald's haunting imagery and sharp attention to form make SPINSTER BY THE SEA a wonderfully dynamic book of poems."--Sarah Rose Exoo (International Poetry Review, Spring 2005)

Castleman is that blend of inspired teacher and baffled adult, unable to control a writing class hell bent on outdoing each other s sex scenes, willing to stoop to filling out his students teacher evaluations forms, and wondering if his own life had a plot. Don t miss sitting in Castleman s classroom; read this book. Pamela Painter, Author of Getting to Know the Weather and The Long and Short of It

Eric Torgersen, whose Dear Friend is an insightful and moving study of Rilke s relationship with the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker, now parses, in this captivating novella, the life/work dilemma which Rilke, Yeats, and others have insisted the artist must confront through the opposing yet complementary windows of the idealist and the cynic. This is a resonant, strange, and strangely familiar dialogue of soul and self which I first read, in manuscript, seventeen years ago. Back then I wrote that I thought it was brilliant. Today I read it again, and I believe I was right. --Dan Gerber

<p>Paul B. Roth, author of such essential collections as Fields Below Zero, is a master of the poem en prose. In this new open sequence dedicated to the genre, he creates a landscape of upstate New York wherein each man and woman exists in a loneliness of asphalt and chill. Yet the voice of the poet, woven throughout the book, is that of a man who listens to the achingly silent fields and nights. He hears rust, frozen creeks, stone, stray fawns, and the seeds that sprout inside words; and because he is willing to stop and listen, he knows his name, daily traffic, and language are both exit and existence, a desolation he has the courage to behold in snowdrifts and in the flight of crows, letting the reader be his companion in this recuperation of language and loss...in this sacramental relationship we are lucky enough to experience. --Anthony Seidman This book is a house with a thousand rooms, each room containing a thousand houses, each house containing a ventriloquist with a thousand voices, saying, "I want to be so much a part of this room that its windows will only open when I breathe." Words the Interrupted Speak is exquisite, incisive. It continually surprises with its diamond-tipped images and the depth of its emotions. These are poems spoken in the midst of the ultimate interruptions: our mortality and our death. Paul B. Roth speaks in a whole new language created from spaces between the old letters. This book is a jewel box as big as a building. In discerning the self in relation to cultural conflict and metaphysical crises, Roth discovers the visceral and elemental. He writes, "Groping for my own face, I touch nothing but rock, earth, roots and their water." This book is a jewel box full of light and stone, rock and root. --Patrick Lawler</p>
