Poetry. "ARBOR VITAE supplies a key to memory of places, what makes them memorable and moving. The Colorado mountains, Paris and the south of France, New York City streets-the poet's view of these reminds us that the heart and spirit of Nature is always human nature. Moi aussi je crois in the making of poems as wonderful as these. They are a real refreshment"-Marie Ponsot.

Poetry. "Reading Thomas Fink's GOSSIP leaves you giddy and satiated, just like a good `dirt' session should! Fink collages fractured dialogue, political farce, pop song lyrics, and tabloid tidbits to make his deliberate music and `tactful oomph.' The poems utilizing the crazy and gorgeous `found speech' of a child are pure delight, elevating chitchat to new poetic heights. I, for one, can confirm this rumor: Fink's GOSSIP is one amazing read"-Denise Duhamel.

Poetry. "With a surrealist's touch, Sandy McIntosh wickedly maps out the psyche's contradictions and movingly explores family pain and grief. His clean, swift poems strike the reader's eye as well as heart as they rangle from hope to nightmare, from loss to social comedy"--Michael Heller.

Poetry. "If Walt Whitman had taken a Ph.D. in literary theory at New York University in the 1980's, and then wrote poetry, the outcome might have resembled THE BEE FLIES IN MAY. Following John Barth, Miller has constructed a funhouse: his musings refract images that contain fascinating, funny, and surreal moments of perception, but vision is distorted, twisted, sometimes made minuscule, other times writ large, and then expanded out of any proportion. both [Whitman and Miller] are poets who have written large period pieces that signify their awareness of America in crucial times"-Daniel Morris.

Poetry. Art. By the author of MUSAICS, THE POND AT CAPE MAY POINT is a collection of poems about nature paired with watercolor illustrations by painter Fred Caruso. "This is a rare evocation of a luminous place indeed. The quietly securing art of this poet and painter makes a bond in mind out of what has so moved them to such mastery- the wonder of this world in itself" Robert Creeley. "Poet Burt Kimmelman and painter Fred Caruso have combined to give words as water, paint as water. In their able hands THE POND AT CAPE MAY POINT coheres as tenderly as falling rain" Basil King.

Poetry. "These cool, beautiful intelligent lyrics take seeing (and especially seeing paintings) as metaphor for everything else: mistakes, regrets, betrayal, despair; and finally are, I think, almost more like paintings than poems-paintings that, as Howard Hodgkin says about the pictures he longs to make will 'speak for themselves'"—Jean Valentine.

Poetry. "Harriet Zinnes is a force for an investigatory poetry. She has produced books on Ezra Pound and her own art criticism has a wide inclusivity. Her lyric poetry reminds one that the psychologists have said one turns wise or bitter, and in this poet's case her work must be most wise, because it is the least bitter. Sweet-bitter might be the classical summation of her style. Like Miro, the poet knows the necessity of excess and her work has an intensity that is at once particular and immense"-David Shapiro.

Poetry. REPRODUCTIONS OF THE EMPTY FLAGPOLE is the first U.S. collection by Eileen R. Tabios, winner of the Phillipines' National Book Award for Poetry. "Her poems allows out minds to be excited twice, by the psychological and artistic reference points from which the words zoom-out like handpicked bees from a hive, and by the vivid hum of the poems themselves demonstrating a captivation, utterly original imagination. In her lines, which are at once strict and sensual, Eileen Tabios inserts stingers barbed with wit and political incisiveness..Hers is a poetics of social and cultural interrogation in which she succeeds in uniting what she would call the 'covex with the concave.' REPRODUCTIONS OF THE EMPTY FLAGPOLE will stand you straight up"-Forrest Gander.

Poetry. "As beautiful as [these poems] are on paper, they are musical in the way old-fashioned rhyming poems are: they go into you and stay. Her courage to tell the truth wins our confidence. I don't know of any books of poetry that address subjects that are so difficult to talk about (a son's death, abuse of another son. the violence in her marriage). These poems skirt the pitfalls of autobiographical writing because of their unsparing look at the speaker, and because of their lucidity in form, emotion, and idea. The poems are intimate., yet the language is so precise, the forms so exquisitely wrought that it gives each a feeling of sculptural weight. of iron or clay"-Toni Derricotte.

Poetry. "Patricia Carlin's poetry is marked by great wit, uncompromising intelligence, reverence face-to-face with irreverence, the pursuit of insight through a labyrinth of images and ideas, and the embrace of a spectrum of voices and registers. Joy and skepticism suffuse her poems like a balance of darkness and light. Her work is original, provocative, and metaphysically compelling. Doors keep opening, even in the most unlikely spaces, and the room they lead to alter our entire conception of the place we thought we had entered"-Phillis Levin.
